State Tournament Pin Hitters We’re Excited to See in 2025 (Pt. 2)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're back for more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Yesterday's feature highlighted a handful of <a href="https://prepdig.com/2024/11/state-tournament-pin-hitters-were-excited-to-see-in-2025/">state tournament pin hitters</a> poised for big gains in the upcoming club season. Adding a few more names to the list can build up the anticipation for 2025 a little further.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's do it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["292243"],"_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-6741f314d4f5c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elkhorn South's postseason return would not have been possible without Bartling. She led the Storm with over 250 kills and brought enough athleticism to match up with Class A's most physical frontcourt. We watched Bartling's upward trend begin during the club season when she carved up opposing defenses from the left pin. Expect the same thing in 2025, but Bartling is changing the venue for next year. She joins [program_tooltip program_id='428743' first='VCNebraska' last=''] 17 Elite and can offer some instant impact to the club's new-look roster.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["253919"],"_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-6741f7e157d2f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Liebsack's stock continues to soar after another tournament appearance with Bennington. The Badgers got a little of everything from Liebsack this fall, including team-high totals in kills and aces. The junior outside hitter was one of the few players in the Cornhusker State to wield a jump-spin serve, and Liebsack changed matches with this rare weapon. She returns to the Premier Nebraska gym this spring and remains a player to watch for 17 Gold.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["253907"],"_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-6741f7e157d7f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">White distinguished herself as one of the most dynamic, explosive opposites at this year's state tournament. She lit up the scoreboard with nearly 300 kills in the regular season, but White did a lot more than you'd expect from a right-side hitter. The Skutt Catholic junior also carried a significant role in the serve-receive pattern and played excellent right-back defense throughout the postseason. She will now team up with Liebsack on Premier 17 Gold to give the team an exceptional pin-to-pin offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["498907"],"_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-6741f7e157dc2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">2025 ought to be a big year for this top-tier outside hitter from the Class of 2027. Herian posted another massive season with Pierce and racked up about 600 total kills after reaching the Class C1 semifinals. She demonstrated her ability to go over the top of opposing blockers, making her in-system swings nearly indefensible. Herian's next big venture takes her to [program_tooltip program_id='428717' first='Nebraska' last='ONE'] 16 Synergy, a team stocked with elite talent to compete at the Open level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["275943"],"_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-6741fdde7724e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wohlgemuth has made incredible year-over-year progress throughout her prep career. She anchored Lincoln Lutheran's left-side hitter spot this fall and led the Warriors with over 300 pre-tournament terminations. The junior pin attacker showed her full repertoire as Lincoln Lutheran clinched its fourth consecutive title. Wohlgemuth should remain on her upward trajectory when she represents [program_tooltip program_id='428717' first='Nebraska' last='ONE'] for the upcoming club campaign.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["591636"],"_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-6741fdde772a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Graves is the kind of right-side hitter who can dominate at the net in multiple ways. She piled up triple-digit kills during Papio South's 2024 championship effort, but Graves is perhaps even more impressive as a shutdown blocker. The sophomore opposite was credited with 62 blocks during the regular season--a huge total for a wing blocker. Graves's multi-faceted onslaught will remain a focus of Premier Nebraska 16 Gold's pursuit for another Open bid this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["458169"],"_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-6741fdde772e4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bornschlegl is poised to be the new go-to outside hitter for VCNebraska 16 Elite. She showed this potential by dominating opposing defenses in the state tournament en route to Norris' historic state championship. Moreover, Bornschlegl will be a six-rotation asset for 16 Elite who can shoulder a ton of responsibilities in the passing formation. In short, she's the perfect fit for the VCN gym and should prosper during another season of high-level club volleyball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
