We got to see Penke in top form when she absolutely went off in the Class A Consolation bracket. She recorded an impressive 19 kills in the Consolation Semi-final while hitting a .349. Penke also tallied a pair of aces and 5 blocks in that semifinal match. She was perfect in serve receive and knotched 22 digs during their Consolation Championship. Penke certainly made her presence known at the X in November.
Kenning wasted no time making her presence known at the X in November. She had a scorching 27 kills in their Consolation Semi Final while also hitting a .290. Kenning takes a really strong swing down the line to score at will. And this really was her match because after Kenning was perfect in serve receive taking 24 contacts in the Quarterfinals she also had 33 first contacts in the semi final without a single reception error. She used the Quarterfinals to show off her defensive skills when she tallied 21 digs and in the Consolation Championship she took charge at the net for 6 blocks.
Larson kicked off quarterfinals with 3 kills out of 4 attempts while running a 5-1. She also tallied a whopping 45 assists in the quarterfinal. Larson tagged her only ace in the Class AA Championship. She knotched 18 digs along with 6 blocks in the Semifinal.
Benka has been flying under my radar and I hate when I miss a player like this. But, we are all human and doing our best. Benka was recognized by the Minnesota Volleyball Coach’s Association as a Class AA All-State honoree. She is long, lean and her swing is mean. Benka is an explosive jumper and has a bright future ahead.
Fischer is a smart attacker and knows how to find the open court. She’s aggressive at the net on offense and defense. Fischer does a great job of working the deep corners and she sees the opposing block and works around it.
When Gentele gets ahold of the ball, watch out. She does a nice job of wrapping her hand over the top of the ball and creating a strong downward projection. Gentele works angles and the deep corners to score.
