Finally, less than a week before Thanksgiving, our team rosters are set! You can bet that Rogue330 is beyond “thankful” for all the 2026 players, coaches, and families who have signed up for the adventure.
So, here’s the breakdown… after this Sunday’s upcoming afternoon practices, we’ll take a break until doing two power-packed practice nights on December 4 and 11. Then, we will take a few weeks off before starting 2026 practices on Monday, January 5th. During the Christmas break, all of our players will exercise, train, eat healthy foods, and get plenty of sleep. Or not. But we want them to be ready to get rogue wins in January.
The Spark. Coach Taliyah Johnson has enjoyed meeting and watching a lot of these brand new players at our open gyms. Our 14s have a full complement of players representing Lake, North Canton, Louisville, Tuslaw, Lake Center, Canton McKinley, Canton South, and of course Tuslaw. Callie Patrick, Riley Janchar, Zoey McGinnis, and Marley Swihart have brought impressive hustle and attitudes to the court already. “Every single one of the girls looks ready to contribute and grow their game,” said Club Director Gary Underwood. “We are excited to watch them develop as players and as a team!”
The Ignite: The 15s looked GREAT in practice and Coach Mandy Dale can’t wait to meet the group and watch them start the process of becoming a real team together. Ignite’s Setting looks terrific already, with Lake’s Abby Rowe and GlenOak’s Paityn Lewis. Hitters Gwenn Reinford, Alaina Conn, Maci Thompson, and Kendal Ostapowicz are ready to take the next step. Defenders Laila Wisener and Alithia Pertsinides have really stepped up!
The Flame: Rogue 16s bring together experienced passers from Marlington, Lake, and Walsh Jesuit, setting and hitting from Canton McKinley, GlenOak, and New Philly. To nobody’s surprise, GlenOak’s Molly Sevin will indeed be wearing #7 for the Flame. Watch out for Lake’s Colie Evanish, Marlington’s Ivy Tate, and the McKinley trio of Chazzy Travis, Violet Hanlin and Naomi Seeden this season! Coach Kendra is also excited about Maddie Page and the new additions Lilli Hutchison and Elise Moseley.
The Blaze: Coach Kaleigh’s squad finished Top10 as a 16-Regional team last season, and returns nearly everyone this season – Summer Brown, Ruthie Weimer, Kelley Proud, Morgan Burdge, Caroline Chesnic, Addison Marx, and Savannah Brown. The Blaze squad adds fantastic GlenOak hitters MyQuella Lipkins and Journie Johnson, along with Tusky Valley’s dangerous Abeka Fouts. It’s going to be another fantastic season for the Blaze!
The Thunder: Coach Macy McCauley digs this group of returning Juniors and Seniors, including Kamden Maninga, Taeko Thompson, and Megan Fankhauser. Thunder added some dynamic players from the Canton area, including Janay Johnson, Avery Allman, and Gabrielle Edmonds. Allman was Rogue330’s Most Improved Player last season, and played a key role in North Canton’s District Championship this Fall. Thunder blocks and power hits will also come from Chloe Arnold, Felicia Fellenstein, and Aaliyah Hall in 2026.
The Fire: Louisville’s Lauren Siegfried joins Rogue330 to coach this mostly-seniors team led by Chippewa’s setter, Maggie Fulton, and a whole host of high-flying hitters, including Northwest’s Paris Harter, alongside Audrey Lands, Hailey Husk, Molly Peters, and Zoiee Mason. Aggressive Libero/DS Julie Underwood and Middle Blocker Khyla Blair return to the FIRE for their third straight season of OVR competition at Rogue! Brooke Weidman and Kendall Bilbrey round out a deep and talented FIRE roster.
Overall, Rogue330 could not be more pleased and excited with the season ahead, unless you ask Underwood. “Sometimes you’re still waiting for one more player to show up,” Gary observed, “but we’ve already hit the jackpot over here at Rogue. I can’t wait to see our coaches working with this tremendous group of players!”
