Class C1 Players added to Watch Lists!

2019 Columbus Lakeview Conference. Photo contributed by coach. Checking in with our 2020 Nebraska Prep Dig Team Series Winner - C1 Columbus Lakeview - looks to greatness in the upcoming season. With a 22-11 record in 2019 and losing to eventual state runner-up St. Paul in districts, the 2020 team aims high! Coach K.C. Belitz sums it up best, “We expect to play as a team, to play harder than our opponents, and to hold each other to a high standard. Returning eight letter-winners, including a 3-year starter at setter, certainly, we expect to play well. If we can pass and dig well enough, we should be able to run a quick and balanced offense with Reese at the controls. C-1 will be the deepest class in the state so we understand the challenge of making it to the state tournament, but that is the goal for the season the players have set after coming up .1 point short of the final wild card last year.” Already in the rankings, #82 [player_tooltip player_id="58251" first="Reese" last="Janssen"] (2021, S), transfer #55 [player_tooltip player_id="58803" first="Jordie" last="Nekl"] (2022, OH/L), and #88 [player_tooltip player_id="58814" first="Mallori" last="Kucera"] (2022, M) add three teammates to the class of 2022 Watch List - [player_tooltip player_id="103001" first="Lilly" last="Rowe"], [player_tooltip player_id="77518" first="Katee" last="Korte"], and [player_tooltip player_id="103106" first="Saylor" last="Eberhart"].

The senior and junior class of my freshman year soon taught me I had nothing to fear. They were so nice and really helpful in showing me the ropes. I have narrowed my positions down from setter/right side to now just right side throughout these last years. <a href="http://www.hudl.com/profile/11604023">HUDL Highlights</a>   ⇒[player_tooltip player_id="77518" first="Katee" last="Korte"] | 2022 | 5’9 MH/OH | Columbus Lakeview 2019 Awards: HM All-State 2019, HM All-Conf 2019 2019 Stats: Kills/Set, Total, Hitting Percentage: 1.6, 142, .230 Blocks/Set, Total: .6, 48   ⇒[player_tooltip player_id="103106" first="Saylor" last="Eberhart"] | 2022 | 5’6 DS/OH | Columbus Lakeview 2019 Stats: Serving Percentage: 91.2 Digs/Set, Total: 2.0, 179 Saylor on her team, “Our team will be mostly the same players as last year, so we have a pretty good bond already.
