College Exposure:
At Prep Dig, our mission is to be a platform for visibility for all of those athletes – college bound prospects at all levels. The Top 250 Expos embody that mission and bring it to life, giving prospects at all levels an opportunity to showcase their skills in front of local college coaches as well as our team of evaluators.
The Expo is not held during an NCAA live period, so Division 1 coaches are not allowed to attend. We have more than 100 colleges that have subscribed and as writers we are in contact with coaches about players.
Green Bay Regulars
For the last 4 years Lutheran Schools have sent at least one team to the WIAA Girls State Volleyball Tournament. This year Wisconsin Lutheran made the trip to the Resch. 2018 Saw Kettle Moraine Lutheran (KML) finish 2nd in Division 2 and Lake Country Lutheran (LCL) winning the Division 3 crown. In 2017, the Gold ball was won by a Lutheran school at Division 2 and 3, Lakeside Lutheran and LCL respectively. Lakeside also made the trip to Green Bay in 2016.
Expo Watch List
11 Lutheran school prospects will be in attendance at the WI Top 250 Expo before taking on the 2019 club season. Below you will see who they are and their club teams. Prep Dig is excited to host these athletes this weekend and keeping tabs on them throughout the club season.

Elle Truckenbrod Elle Truckenbrod 5'9" | OH Kettle Moraine Lutheran | 2021 State WI – Class of 2021 – 5’9″ – Outside – Milwaukee Sting 17 White
Injury kept Elle out for a couple weeks of the high school season, but she still led the team in kills with 311. Elle has always had a heavy hand on the hitting on the outside. The last year saw Elle making big improvements in her serve receive and defensive skills. She may not be the biggest pin but she has become a dynamic 6 rotation player for the Chargers and Sting. Look for her continued development of shots offensively and confidence in the back row before a college program scoops her up in the important junior season.
Stella Zarling Stella Zarling 5'9" | OH Kettle Moraine Lutheran | 2022 State WI – Class of 2022 – 5’8″ – Outside/DS – Wisconsin Premier 16 Teal

Rachel Rossing Rachel Rossing 5'9" | S Lake Country Lutheran | 2023 State WI – Class of 2023 – 5’8″ – Setter – Milwaukee Sting 15 Black
Rachel stepped into the varsity spotlight right away as a freshman. Like Adriana, she wasn’t the “starter” but she allowed LCL to run a 6-2 throughout the year maximizing their offensive potential. Alayna Ritter Alayna Ritter 5'5" | S Lake Country Lutheran | 2020 State WI will be graduating and Rachel’s decision making and quickness in transition will have her ready to be the lead setter for the Lightning.
