Top Ten Team Camp Preview Class D-1, D-2

Erica Twarling July 26, 2021 @ 09:13 AM

The final two days of the Top Ten Team Camp at Kearney Catholic will feature Nebraska’s two smallest classes in the D-1, D-2 division. Huge talent is all over these smaller classes, making Nebraska high school volleyball so good from Class A to Class D-2. The camp will feature two 2020 State Champions in Pleasanton in Class D-1 and Diller-Odell in Class D-2. Play kicks off for the Tentative Day 1 Schedule on Friday, July 30th from 3:30-8:40 and finishes up on Saturday from 7:50- 5:30. Let’s take a look at some players that should be on your radar headed into the fall! Pleasanton: This roster will have to reload after tons of talent graduated from last year’s State Championship team. A returning attacker in 6’2" MB, [player_tooltip player_id="103136" first="Chelsea" last="Fisher"] (Class of 2022) had 231 kills and 61 blocks for the Bulldogs will be a player to keep an eye on and to build around for the fall season. Diller-Odell: The D-2 State Champion will have super junior to be 5’11" (Class of 2023) [player_tooltip player_id="59202" first="Karli" last="Heidemann"] who pounded an astonishing 534 kills, had 305 digs and 45 ace serves for the Griffins last fall. 5’9" Madelyne Meyerle (Class of 2022) is back and had 63 ace serves and 171 kills last fall. Look for the Griffins to be in the hunt again in November! Mead: Look for the Raiders to be hungry this coming fall with 6’0" OH Bri Lemke (Class of 2022) in her final curtain call. Lemke had 329 kills, 272 digs and 55 ace serves last fall. She also participated in the Pred Dig 250 Expo and she is so strong and is a true six rotation player. She can terminate the ball quickly and also is able to take good shots as well. 5 ’4’’ Setter (Class of 2022) [player_tooltip player_id="103120" first="Emily" last="Quinn"] will be running the Raiders offense and will love to feed Lemke. Quinn finished with 902 set assists, 211 digs and 45 ace serves last fall.

I remember watching her at State last November and she did not play like a freshman. 5’7" (Class of 2022) [player_tooltip player_id="103126" first="Kenzie" last="Scheele"] is back as she had 141 kills last fall and chipped in 43 ace serves. BDS: Come November the Crossroads Conference member school is always in the hunt. They will have to replace some firepower at the net with the graduation of [player_tooltip player_id="58212" first="Macy" last="Kamler"]. Look for 5’10" (Class of 2022) OH Mariah Silva to take control as she had 231 kills and 60 ace serves headed into State last year. Hannah Miller, a 5’6" setter, is also back from the 6-2 offense last year and she had 31 aces and 334 assists last fall before State for the Eagles. Keep an eye on these teams and players come fall! Kearney will be the place to see high quality competition and a sneak peak into possible November match-ups!
