Continue ReadingProbably the coolest, and most unique, of all of the mascots in Indiana comes from way up north, the Andrean Fighting 59ers. To go along with that cool is the fact that this is the only team I’m aware of in the state of Indiana that graduates exactly ZERO members from their 2020 campaign. With all of that talent coming back, a sectional title is a given, but how far can they go?
’22, Angelina Majchrowicz Angelina Majchrowicz 6'0" | OH Andrean | 2022 State IN , 5-9 OH
At nearly four kills per set, this six-rotation primary passing outside is the engine that makes Andrean go. Fast, springy, and with seemingly all parts of the game mastered, Angelina has the ability to take over matches, and not just from the net. She’s also the leading server and finished #2 in digs last fall. One more year of experience with the exact same lineup is HUGE, and this is your leader.
’24, Marin Sanchez Marin Sanchez 5'10" | OH Andrean | 2024 State IN , 5-8 OH
The “other” outside shouldn’t be treated as such. Also a six-rotation primary passer, Marin’s three kills per set is almost MORE effective than her counterpart because she hits nearly .300 in the process. Championship teams, at least in Indiana, all have one thing in common—-balance. Angelina and Marin balance each other perfectly, and the success of the two outsides will make or break this squad.
’22, Caleigh Doffin, 5-5 DS/L
This Ignite Elite-trained libero has all of the tools to be the coach of the back row, and is very active in doing so. She does all of the dirty work, has fast feet and a quiet upper body, and is nails if you go right at her. She’s seemingly always around the ball, as evidenced by her team-leading dig numbers from ’20. I’m not sure there’s another ’bro in 2A I’d want to have anchoring my serve receive and defense.
’22, Maddie Kmetz Maddie Kmetz 5'9" | S Andrean | 2022 State IN , 5-8 S
Does it feel like Maddie’s been at Andrean for 11 years? It should—she’s been their starter for almost forever, and will cap off a brilliant career as the only setter the Fighting 59ers have ever known for the past few years. Smooth in her movements, her hands and high and quick, and always sets the right matchup. Unlike a lot of kids that play on THIS side of the state line, Maddie plays club at Michio Chicago, making her schedule a little tougher than average. A big-time setter getting high-level training for a potential state championship squad? This is a can’t-miss prospect if I ever saw one.
