Erie Has A Devil Of A Hitter In Burnett

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It seems like almost every club tournament played in Kansas as at least one player attending Spring Hill High School ends up standing out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At the Heart Challenge Cup in Lawrence March 4-5, the [program_tooltip program_id='430209' first='Midwest' last='Juniors'] 17-1 team had three Broncos perform well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The [program_tooltip program_id='430209' first='Midwest' last='Juniors'] finished the tournament with a 3-5 match record. Prep Dig scouted their two-set loss to the Kansas Rise 17-1 during Saturday's Pool Play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is the fourth and final scouting report on Heat Challenge Cup play from Lawrence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Neveah Fulk, 5'8”, OH, Spring Hill, ‘24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fulk is a springy hitter with a long reach. She had six kills, three blocks, four serve receptions, and two digs. She is an aggressive hitter and stayed on the court for all six receptions. She was a primary target in the Juniors' offensive system and played well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aubrey Rodina, 5'3”, L, Spring Hill, ‘24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rodina made solid first passes during the match. She had 13 serve receptions and eight digs in the 17-25, 19-25 loss to Kansas Rise. She was targeted consistently by the Kansas Rise servers, which was a mistake.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='493572' first='Margo' last='Todd'], 5'7”, OH, Spring Hill, ‘24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Todd played the most well-rounded match for the Midwest club. She finished with four kills, four digs, and 10 serve receptions. She played all six rotations and is an aggressive player. Her skills play out better on the front row, but she is not a liability on the back row.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>All three players are uncommitted and worthy of a look by NAIA and JUCO coaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There were also two Kansas players who had a solid match that was scouted by Prep Dig. [program_tooltip program_id='428876' first='Club' last='MVP'] 17-1 is a club team made up mostly of players from Carl Junction, Missouri, and the surrounding area. However, two Kansas athletes were also on this team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='304025' first='Ella' last='Burnett'], 6'1”, MH, Erie, ‘24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you are a college coach in Kansas you need to add [player_tooltip player_id='304025' first='Ella' last='Burnett'] to your scouting list. She had five kills and four blocks against True North Academy in a 25-20, 25-17 win for [program_tooltip program_id='428876' first='Club' last='MVP']. She is a long athlete with a solid net-front presence. She has a nice swing and plays for a high school program that can often get overlooked. She finished second for the Erie Red Devils in 2022 with 135 kills and 98 total blocks. More than likely a front-row-only option in college, she would be a solid addition to a college program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Elle Kreighbaum, 5'7”, S, Chanute, ‘24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kreighbaum has really soft hands and works hard to keep her squad in the system. She had six digs, eight assists, and one kill, in the win against True North. She will be key in the Blue Comets' attempts to improve on a 16-12 2022 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
