Nebraska Prep Dig Top 250: Setters from Court 6!

<p>While walking the Prep Dig Top 250 event last Sunday, I came upon court 6.  Court 6 was full of outsides that can hit a bullseye from 30 feet away with a volleyball.  I am not sure how all of these players ended up on one court but they were fantastic to behold while doing their business.  With a court full of great hitters there have to be setters helping them out to look great.  Let’s talk about the setters that I saw on court six this morning.</p> [caption id="attachment_118932" align="alignleft" width="150"]<img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-118932" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2020/12/Elise-Mehaffy-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /> [player_tooltip player_id="79251" first="Elise" last="Mehaffy"], 2022, S, Marion High School.[/caption] <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>77 - [player_tooltip player_id="79251" first="Elise" last="Mehaffy"] (2022, S, Marion High School)</strong></span></p> <p>Elise is a 5’11" OH from Marion High School who had 4.7 APS, 2.2 KPS, 2.0 DPS, 23 total blocks, and 24 aces with a 94.7% serve efficiency in her last high school season.  She creates hittable balls and has great composure.  She keeps her cool and motivates her teammates with good communication habits on the court.  She has great serves and she has a high volleyball IQ.</p> [caption id="attachment_118987" align="alignright" width="150"]<img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-118987" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2020/12/Madeleine-Miller-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /> Madeleine Miller, 2023, S, Mount Vernon.[/caption] <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>80 - Madeleine Miller (2023, S, Mount Vernon)</strong></span></p> <p>Madeleine is a 6’0" setter from Mount Vernon who had 4.3 APS, .3 KPS, 1.8 DPS, 2 aces with a 78.6% serve efficiency in her last high school season.  Madeleine has great court awareness and balances her sets well for her hitters.
