Prososki asserted herself as the team's starting setter and did some of her best work in back-row rotations. The Bulldogs ran a lot of points in their three-hitter rotations, and that had a lot to do with Prososki's game-changing floor defense. It's an underrated skill for setters, and this sophomore has already mastered the craft. Osceola is located in a competitive corridor for Nebraska prep volleyball, but the Bulldogs can keep improving with Prososki at the helm.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["497370"],"_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":"We're making a quick stop in the Star City. Bearden is LSE's future at the setter spot, and she staked that claim by amassing an impressive sophomore highlight tape. She can dish out a variety of tempos to the outside, which helps create seams to hit through. Some of Bearden's best connections came when she worked the middles, and that eventually became the focal point of Southeast's offense. A big club season is on deck, so look for Bearden's development with [program_tooltip program_id='428743' first='VCNebraska' last=''] 16 Elite.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["497371"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Reed is the latest Scottsbluff addition to our database. This pin hitter made a variety of contributions through her attacking, blocking, and all-around consistency. Class B showcases panhandle talent every year, and Scottsbluff's time came last fall. Reed is bound to use this high-level experience to her advantage as she becomes one of the team's veteran leaders.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["497372"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"We're not done with Scottsbluff. Salas was another 2026 standout with the Bearcats, but her niche was backcourt defense. She took full advantage of her reps in the lineup, even as Scottsbluff had a wealth of six-rotation talent. No matter where Salas was tasked with defending, she added value that kept her on the court throughout 2023. More to come in 2024.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["497375"],"_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":"Lierman's range makes her a perfect fit for any frontcourt, but that's especially true for a Waverly team that is always eager to run its middles. The sophomore middle blocker surpassed triple-digit kills during the 2023 campaign and was particularly effective on the quick in front of the setter. However, Lierman remained a threat in two-hitter rotations by thriving on the slide. It's scary to think how terminal this under-the-radar attacker could become with two more years left in the Waverly gym.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["497380"],"_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":"Schrock might have some frontcourt work looming in her future, but her role on Kearney Catholic's 2023 team was in the backcourt. Her impact was remarkable. The Stars primarily used Schrock in the middle-back areau002du002da worthy choice given her background as an outside hitter. Not only did Schrock compile a ton of digs during her three rotations along the end line, but these were quality touches that set up Kearney Catholic's electrifying transition offense. We're gearing up for a serious libero battle at Kearney Catholic next year.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["497385"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Syracuse is primed to maintain its steady postseason presence. One of the reasons for that optimism is Donovan's emergence at the libero spotu002du002da notable triumph for any underclassman. The Rockets received a ton of defensive production from their young defender, and Donovan embraced more responsibilities as the 2023 season progressed. That culminated in Syracuse's return to the Class C1 tournament. This is just the beginning, too.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["497392"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Class C1 is well represented among these new additions. Cone turned heads with her stellar performances on Pierce's right pin as the Bluejays nearly broke into 2023's C1 championship match. This is a physical attacker who doesn't need to be in a perfect rhythm to terminate. Rather, Pierce was content with lobbing the ball up to Cone and letting her create scoring opportunities. Last fall might not be the last time we see Cone on Nebraska's biggest prep stage. Pierce will be back.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["497421"],"_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":"Wynot's aggressive front row was a huge storyline at last year's tournament, and that picture wouldn't be complete without Oligmueller. Though Oligmueller might not have the length of some of her fellow Blue Devils, she makes up for it with her quickness off the floor and sound technique. The sophomore middle blocker will be the leading returning scorer on next year's team, and we're anxious to see how that changes the dynamic for Oligmueller's future development. Her time in the spotlight has arrived.","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":9,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6597ae7c7d0af"} /-->
