Premier volleyball hosted the Mizuno Premier Showcase for 15’s, 16’s, 17’s and 18’s Gold Divisions. There was a lot of good volleyball matches playing out and I even saw some college coaches in the gym. Some of the girls who caught my eye include:
Nebraska Elite 17 Titans:
Hannah Wilson S/RS
Layne Whaley, L/DS, Ashland-Greenwood–Layne does a great job at libero. She’s in the right spot to make the play, and is solid in serve receive.
Premier 16 Black:
Marissa Lootens, RS/S, Millard North–I was impressed with Marissa’s swing. She had a knack to put the ball between the blockers when the team needed it. She also does some setting when needed.
Kobe Patten, OH/DS, Duschesne– Kobe is a solid all-around player. She’s consistent and can be counted on in general to get the job done. She’s a scrambler on the court and doesn’t quit! She’s fun to watch play.
Premier 15 Gold:
Alanna Bankston, MB/RS, Millard North–Alanna is putting up big blocks this season! She has grown a bit to almost 6′ and has a nice upswing. She moves well from pin to pin and is athletic. She’s going to have a great club season.
Banzai 16 Brittany:
Ellie Daugherty, OH, Mercy HS, Ellie is a good 6-rotation outside. She has an aggressive approach and is able to terminate. She played a big role for Mercy High School last fall.
Kennedi Branigan, OH, Kennedi has a high reach and a nice swing. She moved well as a pin hitter.
Makenzy Povich, MB. Makenzy was working hard in the middle and putting down some nice balls. She has a quick arm and had good placement of her hits.
Nebraska ONE 16 Black:
Raegan Holle, L, Lincoln Lutheran–Raegon is a quick libero and can make the needed plays. She played on Lincoln Lutheran’s State Championship team!
Mollie Martin, MB Lincoln Lutheran–Mollie plays middle and has a nice slide and block. She also helped Lincoln Lutheran win the state championship last fall.

18 Gold Tournament– Premier 16 Gold
