2021 and 2022 Prospects Ready To Take On Quad Cities Clash

The 2021 club season is approaching. We’re not quite back to “Normal”, but we are for the most part back in the gym, athletes are able to be around their teammates and friends, and get back to doing what they love. Normal? Not quite, but at the end of the day, they get to be together, they have found a way to make it work. For some of these athletes, they haven’t been able to play in an event since last March. It’s time! Here are some athletes in the Class of 2021 and Class of 2022 that are must watch athletes who will be sure to turn some heads at the Quad Cities Clash. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> [player_tooltip player_id="90597" first="Aida" last="Shadewald"] from <a href="https://x.com/SportsSauk?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SportsSauk</a> is on 🔥<a href="https://x.com/PrepDigChris?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepDigChris</a> <a href="https://x.com/PrepDigWI?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepDigWI</a> <a href="https://t.co/NzWcejLdxp">pic.x.com/NzWcejLdxp</a> — Breit Nelson (@BreitNelson) <a href="https://x.com/BreitNelson/status/1298756533522751489?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 26, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> [player_tooltip player_id="90597" first="Aida" last="Shadewald"] - Sting United 17 Red Class of 2022 - Outside Hitter Shadewald busted onto the scene last year, but with covid was unable to have a full 16s season. A physical attacker on the pin and six rotation outside, she is going to be high on the radar for plenty of college coaches. She was key in leading her team to the state tournament while earning All State honors. <img class=" wp-image-117005 aligncenter" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2020/11/Abby-Savatski-2.jpg" alt="" width="398" height="265" /> [player_tooltip player_id="81312" first="Abby" last="Savatski"] - RVA 17 Navy Class of 2022 - Middle Blocker Super dynamic, Savatski is a major presence at the net with the ability to run a variety of tempos as well as putting up quite a block. RVA is Revolution Volleyball Academy out of the Waukesha, WI area outside of Milwaukee and will be bringing a batch of teams who are always competitive throughout the Badger Region. This 17s squad is athletic and has a front line who will be very physical at the net.

Barth is another dynamic middle where she’s a multisport athlete who has evolved into an elite athlete the past year. She is active along the net and is one of those fast twitch middles who can be really quick with her arm swing and score plenty of points. She can also get from pin to pin extremely quick too. She was a key piece of Edgewood Catholic out of Madison who advanced to the Wisconsin state tournament. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Lot of athletes on this <a href="https://x.com/iowapowervb?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@iowapowervb</a> 16 Black team. [player_tooltip player_id="79246" first="Madison" last="Geise"] 2022 setter/right side is the real deal. <a href="https://t.co/DVn5YGpBIS">pic.x.com/DVn5YGpBIS</a> — Chris Fitzgerald (@PrepDigChris) <a href="https://x.com/PrepDigChris/status/1233507707723882498?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 28, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> [player_tooltip player_id="79246" first="Madison" last="Geise"] - IPVA 17 Black Class of 2022 - Setter Geise can do it all. She is a top athlete coming out of Central Iowa where she is another multi-sport kid and can also play multiple positions whether she’s setter or swinging on the right side. Setting is where she will most likely land at the next level, but with her all around ability, she is the type of athlete you need on your side of the net at the next level. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> [player_tooltip player_id="80795" first="Anna" last="Bohrer"] of Verona has been one of the best setters in the PDFL. 2021 major sleeper! <a href="https://t.co/Yt4zOBSH77">pic.x.com/Yt4zOBSH77</a> — Chris Fitzgerald (@PrepDigChris) <a href="https://x.com/PrepDigChris/status/1318350155519823874?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 20, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> [player_tooltip player_id="80795" first="Anna" last="Bohrer"] - Sting United 18 Red Class of 2021 - Setter I’ve talked with plenty of coaches who have said, “I need a Class of 2021 Setter”. Here is an obvious one. Bohrer was one of the top players in the Prep Dig Fall League which consisted of high schools in Wisconsin who did not get a chance to have a high school season. At 6’0, long, strong, and physical Bohrer can do so many positive things for her team. She would be a huge addition to plenty of teams next year. <img class=" wp-image-118978 aligncenter" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2020/12/Lexi-Stephens.jpg" alt="" width="389" height="259" /> [player_tooltip player_id="103730" first="Lexi" last="Stephens"] - IPVA 17 Black Class of 2022 - Libero State Champion...check. Stephens was the starting libero for Ankeny who won the Class 5A state title (Iowa’s large school class). She was also a standout at the Prep Dig Top 250 in Nebraska. Besides solid platform awareness and anticipation, she has great body language and a presence on the court. Something her teammates can rally around!

She has improved immensely and is becoming a scoring threat to add to her already major presence in the middle as a blocker. She plays for a successful high school squad in Mosinee HS in North Central Wisconsin and is bound to have a big breakout season for club. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Another sneaky good small school team is Pacelli with top Libero [player_tooltip player_id="90599" first="Kylie" last="Struble"] with the second ball. <a href="https://t.co/NCWOgJ8E24">pic.x.com/NCWOgJ8E24</a> — Chris Fitzgerald (@PrepDigChris) <a href="https://x.com/PrepDigChris/status/1298781285754843136?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 27, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> [player_tooltip player_id="90599" first="Kylie" last="Struble"] - Wisconsin Ice 18 National Class of 2022 - Libero Struble has made a name for herself in being one of the top liberos in the Class of 2022 in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Ice 18 National Team is combined of 17s and 18s around the Wausau area stretching into Northern Wisconsin. [player_tooltip player_id="57248" first="Dorci" last="Walker"] is another big time attacker who will be on the squad and will be highly competitive in the Badger Region. <img class=" wp-image-105342 aligncenter" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2020/08/Andrea-Bortulin1-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="262" height="393" /> [player_tooltip player_id="122330" first="Andrea" last="Bortulin"] - Sting United 17 Red Class of 2022 - Setter Super Gritty! I was able to watch Bortulin plenty this summer at a variety of camps and tournaments and she always competes and does so many positive things for her team. She can set, defend, and even at 5’4 had no fear going up against a big block to swing. She’s got the positive intangibles in her favor and can be utilized in a variety of ways for her team. [caption id="attachment_107649" align="aligncenter" width="391"]<img class=" wp-image-107649" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2020/09/IMG_5418-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="391" height="257" /> [player_tooltip player_id="57284" first="Maddy" last="Fortune"] setting[/caption] [player_tooltip player_id="57284" first="Maddy" last="Fortune"] - Balance 17s Class of 2022 - Setter Fortune is hungry and eager to get on the court. Her high school, McFarland right outside of Madison, WI did not have a high school season which was coming off a state runner up appearance. She’s so scrappy and has a high motor where she can get her hands to the ball and run a quick tempo offense. A lot of the athletes from Balance as well as the Sting United squads out of the Madison area were without high school volleyball and this will be a special chance for them to get on the court! <img class=" wp-image-117093 aligncenter" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2020/11/Peyton-Como-1-300x211.jpg" alt="" width="390" height="274" /> [player_tooltip player_id="117352" first="Peyton" last="Como"] - RVA 17 Navy Class of 2022 - Libero Como will be one of the top first contacts for RVA where she is a scrappy libero who can cover plenty of range out of the backrow. RVA has been improving each year among the programs in the Badger Region and this year should be huge for them across all groups. With athletes like Como, who set the tone, they will be fun to compete against some competitive programs at the Clash from Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Over 40 teams signed up in the past 48 hours!
