In this article:
<p>Four players in Class 4A from the Class of 2023 had at least 200 or more assists in 2020.</p>
<p>Here is a look at those four assist leaders entering their junior seasons next fall.</p>
<p><strong>S, Josie McLean, 5’7”</strong>, <strong>Nickerson </strong>– McLean unofficially led all sophomores in Class 4A in assists with 568 assists. She is also a nifty defensive player for the Nickerson Panthers as she finished with 226 digs.</p>
<p><strong>S, [player_tooltip player_id="120037" first="Shelbi" last="Wilson"], 5’9”, Labette County </strong>– Wilson finished her sophomore campaign with 488 assists. She is quick and manages a match well. She could play other positions in the future. At five-foot-nine it will be interesting to see if she has another growth spurt left in her with two high school seasons left to play.</p>
<p><strong>S, Karlie Kanaga, 5’4”, Mulvane </strong>– Kanaga is a leader in the making for the Mulvane Wildcats. She posted interesting numbers in 2020 with 234 assists, 185 digs, and 103 skills. She is only five-foot-four, but Kanaga also added five blocks. She can jump, set, hit, and play defense.</p>
<p><strong>S, Gabby Gatlin, 5’5”, Pratt</strong> – Gatlin should be the setter for the Greenbacks in 2021 and beyond. She had 222 assists for Pratt during her sophomore season. She also has a nice serve, finishing with 31 aces in 2020.</p>
