More 2027s on the Rise after #PDStockUpNE

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One more for the 2027s.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've covered a lot of ground during our post-event coverage of the Nebraska Stock Up Showcase, but there's still room for more. The Class of 2027 is particularly prominent after dozens of athletes from this group made the trip to La Vista. So, let's keep the conversation going.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's present a few more 2027s who appear to be on the upswing after strong outings at our Stock Up Showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["498977"],"_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-66a52eb714adf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">These are good times at Seward High School. The Bluejays broke into last year's state tournament and have ample talent to make a repeat run. Eberspacher garnered several mentions during this year's club season and had another breakout performance at our showcase. Her explosive plays at the net should make Eberspacher a popular setting target at Seward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["508161"],"_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-66a52eb714b3d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Versatility is always a valued trait at showcases, and Hilderbrand fits that mantra. We saw her ball-control skills flourish in early positional drills. She was among the best pin hitters in first-contact consistency and was an active part of the serve-receive pattern. Then, Hilderbrand took over along the net with her quick right arm. The next wave of 2027 talent is ready to dominate at Gretna High School.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["443109"],"_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-66a52eb714b80"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[program_tooltip program_id='428728' first='River' last='City Jrs'] 15 Red has been under the microscope lately as we look for new additions to our Class of 2027 watch list. Jackson is a big-time performer for this squad and brought her well-rounded game to the Stock Up Showcase. The Logan View/Scribner-Snyder standout is comfortable on either pin and can run plenty of routes along the net. That range will be in the small-town spotlight yet again.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521156"],"_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-66a52eb714bbf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jacobson has been on our radar from the very beginning of 2024. Premier Nebraska 15 Black's NLQ triumph was fueled by gritty ball control, and Jacobson was in the middle of it all. We're anxiously awaiting this libero's upcoming season with Millard South. Elite opponents will fill up the Patriots' schedule, and Jacobson will be ready.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["510900"],"_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-66a52eb714bfd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lehr was part of our pre-event coverage and quickly backed up her exceptional 2024 club season. She took the reins for [program_tooltip program_id='428717' first='Nebraska' last='ONE'] 15 Lime and usually found herself in a 5-1 system. Therefore, the Lincoln East representative was well-prepared for anything we could throw at her in La Vista. Lehr connected well with anyone who was alongside her and will keep developing as a sophomore.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["575173"],"_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-66a52eb714c3b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Omaha's talent base keeps expanding. Miller joined us from Omaha Buena Vista and demonstrated her poise along the end line. She was outstanding in the close-quarters defensive drills that made up the first half of the showcase. Miller will be one to watch in the [program_tooltip program_id='428728' first='River' last='City Jrs'] gym, a place loaded with great defensive talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["465410"],"_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-66a52eb714c79"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pick has been a major figure in our recent coverage of northeast Nebraska. She represents [program_tooltip program_id='429192' first='MVP' last='United'] during the club season and will transition to Ponca this fall. The Indians leaned on Pick as a high-volume scorer last fall, and our showcase served as a reminder of how influential this outside hitter is. Expect another uptick in the kills department.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["575157"],"_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-66a52eb714cb6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Real added to a stacked list of 2027 defensive specialists in La Vista. The Waverly prep athlete had a strong club campaign while playing up with [program_tooltip program_id='428717' first='Nebraska' last='ONE'] 16 Black. That valuable experience is translating to Real's sustained success over the summer, and we can't wait to watch her succeed in the Class B gauntlet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["575158"],"_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-66a52eb714cf4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We have double trouble with a Real duo. Aubree plays a vastly different role than Ansley and compiles her best highlights at the middle blocker spot. Her length offered a big advantage at Sunday's event, but Real also has the instincts and technique to be a game-changing blocker. Look out for the Real tandem at Waverly High School this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["575171"],"_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-66a52eb714d32"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Steska is primed to join Elkhorn High School's varsity squad this fall. Before that, though, she proved her readiness for the Class A stage at Sunday's event. Her defensive instincts made her a standout in team drills, and Steskal will only improve with more high-level experience.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
