<p>Mark my words; we will hear a lot about this kid over the next three years. She is a big and strong middle with a ton of power. Once she gains more experience, she will be a deadly middle for the Pirates. She finished the 3<sup>rd</sup> place match with nine kills and three blocks. I won't be surprised to see Platte County back at the final four soon.</p>
