Nebraska’s Returning Stat Stuffers: Setters

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's get some setters into the mix.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Yesterday, we started to look at some of Nebraska's prep athletes who are returning to the high school stage to add to some impressive stat totals. Outside hitters were first in the spotlight, and we featured impressive talent from a variety of classes and school sizes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Expect the same here as we check out a few of the state's best stat-stuffing setters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62fefb01c5ec0","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["152100"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Baker's command of the setter spot helped Bergan reach the Class D1 state championship last fall, and this fierce competitor will be looking for more in 2022. She will have no shortage of talented hitters to set, either. Exceeding last season's 8.5 assists per set is not a stretch for Baker, so keep this senior setter on your radar.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["78671"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Schuster has been leading the Aurora offense since her arrival on the varsity squad as a freshman.

She has regularly been at the top of Nebraska's assists leaderboards since the dawn of her prep career. Hickey's junior season will probably yield her best numbers yet as she sets a Papillion-La Vista offense that is really starting to find its groove.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["104990"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Bartley's Southwest High School gets another stat stuffer on the board with the setters. Lampe isn't just valuable for her ability to dish the ball, as she has also put up some impressive dig totals that have steadily climbed throughout her career.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["109599"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Kirkendall's contributions have helped put Fall City High School on the map after a solid 24-7 overall record for the Tigers last year.

She's included in the setter feature, but she also played some middle blocker in the frontcourt to supplement her back row setter role for Gothenburg. That fascinating dichotomy took centerstage at the state championships last year, and I can't wait to see O'Hare light up the stat sheet again.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["173535"],"_player_evaluations_8_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"Let's revisit a setter who had arguably the best freshman season among all of Nebraska's 2025s.
