<p>Prep Dig was in attendance to scout four early Saturday matches. One of those matches was a Pool Play contest between the Manhattan Mamba 16-1 and adidas [program_tooltip program_id='428889' first='[program_tooltip program_id='428889' first='Dynasty' last='']' last=''] 16-2 squad.</p>

<p>The Match was won by adidias [program_tooltip program_id='428889' first='[program_tooltip program_id='428889' first='Dynasty' last='']' last=''] 25-23, 25-19. The Mamba finished the day with a 1-3 match record and will compete in Silver Bracket play on Sunday, missing out on a chance to qualify for Nationals.</p>

<p>Here is a report on three players who played well in the Manhattan loss and are all in the Class of 2025.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='497880' first='Gracie' last='Erichsen']</strong>, 5”10”, OH, Junction City</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Erichsen was a stat monster for the Mamba in the loss and had one of the better performances scouted. The Junction City prospect finished with eight digs, eight serve receptions, six kills, two blocks, and an ace in the loss. Erichsen has a big athletic frame, has quick feet, and hustles hard to make plays. She projects as high as a possible Division II prospect and volleyball is her primary sport.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='557053' first='Kambree' last='Bryson']</strong>, 5'7”, MB, Abilene</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bryson is a solid jumper and has a big reach. The Abilene product finished with five kills, three blocks, and one dig in the early loss. Right now, she projects as more of front row only player, but that might just be what her club team needs. She has a high motor and solid blocking technique. Like Erichsen, Division II programs might be where her ceiling is at. She will have three more seasons of high school ball to improve on that projection.</p>

<p><strong>Anistyn Gaskill</strong>, 5'5”, S, Manhattan</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gaskill is an interesting prospect, she plays setter for the Mamba, but I can easily see her playing as a Libero or DS at college, not that she could not set collegiality, She finished the match against [program_tooltip program_id='428889' first='[program_tooltip program_id='428889' first='Dynasty' last='']' last=''] with five digs and five assists. She has an accurate – quality serve, which also adds to her stock.</p>
