Kaesha had an outstanding first weekend leading her Bears to a tournament title. The high-flying middle for Galena would hit a whooping .635 with 53 kills and 29 digs. The most important win over the weekend was against Miller 2-0 who’s been in the way of Galena and a final four berth the last couple of years.

Samantha Altena – 5’9” – 2024 – Outside/Setter – Sacred Heart
The Gremlins graduated a phenomenal player, and the replacement is off to a great start. After watching Sacred Heart in Sectionals last year, I saw her potential and she’s starting to live up to it. The outside/setter
