Past Prep Dig Nebraska Showcase Standouts Heading to GJNC (Pt. 2)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Back at it again.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Yesterday, we examined a list of past Prep Dig Showcase participants who will be heading west for this summer's GJNC. It's a stacked list of athletes who have succeeded on our circuit and the club stage. However, we can go even further.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ready for Part 2? The list keeps growing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["173527"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66677eaf772db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A lot has changed for Hagedorn since she shined on the Prep Dig Circuit a couple of years ago. She has won multiple championships with Omaha Skutt Catholic while adapting to both pin positions throughout her prep career. Hagedorn also joined [program_tooltip program_id='428717' first='Nebraska' last='ONE'] 17 Synergy this year, and her right-side hitting skills have been on full display. To cap it all off, this top-tier 2025 has added a D1 commitment to her resume. Sacred Heart is getting a good one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["251144"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66677eaf77386"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Both of [program_tooltip program_id='428743' first='VCNebraska' last=''] 17 Elite's setters have garnered recognition at one of our showcase events. Eckman had a strong outing on our circuit before jumping to VCN's top 17s squad. This high-profile move has panned out, especially with 17 Elite earning its elusive Open bid via the Salt Lake City Showdown. Eckman has never been daunted by elite competition and has made major strides since we saw her at our showcase. GJNC is another one of those important pressure tests.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["215459"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66677eaf77415"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Premier Nebraska 17 Gold's roster is full of past showcase stars, and this one hails from Iowa. Roenfeld is a dynamic attacker who has put up big numbers for Lewis Central High School. Her role with 17 Gold has primarily been in the middle, where Roenfeld is eager to square up with physical hitters. The team's blocking has flourished behind Roenfeld's extraordinary technique and reading skills. A GPR Bid Tourney triumph sends 17 Gold to the 17 National division, where Open-quality squads are lurking.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["189374"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66677eaf77494"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Plueger is on a year-long hot streak. She arrived on the showcase circuit and dominated at the net in team drills. The 2023 fall season offered a new peak as Plueger helped Platteview High School reach the state tournament. This Class of 2025 attacker keeps racking up accolades with Banzai VBC, and 17 Select is heading to Nationals after a breakout WCQ performance. We may have considered Plueger an under-the-radar prospect when she participated at our showcase, but she's a well-known commodity now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["237537"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66677eaf7750d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">South Central NE 16 Black is arguably the most formidable club team in the small-town Nebraska scene. Carlstrom has become a key cog in that lineup with her quick arm at the right-side hitter spot. Her ever-evolving role with High Plains Community has also been fascinating, as Carlstrom exhibited her versatility as a setter and a hitter. That versatility allowed Carlstrom to flourish at our showcase, and GJNC is next on the docket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["253925"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66677eaf77580"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Liebentritt's Prep Dig Showcase appearance was one of many positive steps throughout her stock-rising journey. The showcase format is an ideal fit for Liebentritt, who wields incredible power no matter which position she's playing. She initially made her mark as an opposite but has been a go-to scorer on the left for Premier 16 Black. We're thrilled to see what Liebentritt can accomplish with Omaha Skutt Catholic, but there's unfinished business at Nationals first.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["443108"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66677eaf775f8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This is a perfect prelude to the Nebraska Freshman Showcase. Our first look at Eilenstine came at last year's summer showcase, and that impression has persisted. She hadn't entered the high school spotlight yet but proved her readiness as a game-changing outside hitter. Eilenstine quickly made a varsity impact with Elkhorn South and has been extraordinary with Premier 15 Gold. We're ready to see the next wave of freshmen who can follow this path. Your turn, 2028s.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
