Which Nebraska 15s Gained Momentum at USAV Nationals?

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're sticking with the 15s for this one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our most recent Nationals-inspired write-up featured a select group of <a href="https://prepdig.com/2025/07/nebraskas-15u-standouts-from-wave-4-of-aau-nationals/">Nebraska 15s who impressed at Orlando's AAU Nationals</a>. We might as well apply the same theme in Dallas, where several more of Nebraska's top 15s squads competed on a prominent postseason stage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of 2028 set itself up for a sophomore surge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["575235"],"_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-686f07083a541"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It's hard to imagine Dostal could gain any more momentum during this late-season stretch. The Gretna standout had already piled up accolades on the high school stage and was Premier Nebraska 15 Gold's leading terminator through much of the 2025 season. However, Dostal elevated her game one step further en route to 15 Gold's championship run in 15 USA. She towered over opposing blockers and delivered innumerable clutch swings during bracket play. Big-time performers rise to the occasion at GJNC, and Dostal has separated herself as a can't-miss prospect in Nebraska's Class of 2028.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["575223"],"_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-686f07083a5c4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There's a lot of credit to go around for 15 Gold's title run. Luthi patrolled the middle of the net throughout GJNC and brought plenty of over-the-top termination to the middle blocker spot. This is another Gretna prep athlete who can overpower defenses with her powerful arm and unmatched physicality. Luthi has increased her attacking range while also becoming a reliable blocker who can read where the ball is going. Keep tabs on this emerging star heading into this fall's high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["593775"],"_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-686f07083a635"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It's scary to think that Janulewicz could be even more effective for Grand Island Northwest this fall. She piled up over 350 kills for the Vikings last year, setting the stage for an equally outstanding club season with [program_tooltip program_id='428743' first='VCNebraska' last=''] 15 Elite this spring. Janulewicz helped 15 Elite reinvent itself this year. The team earned a 15 USA bid before jumping up to 15 National through the Great Plains Region Bid Tournament. Januelwicz brings a cannon arm in all six rotations and has found her stride against the nation's toughest competition. It's a good omen as she closes out 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773875"],"_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-686f07083a6a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We were taken aback by Premier Nebraska 15 Black's pin-hitting prowess at GJNC. Nielsen led this offensive onslaught with her explosive arm at the left-side hitter position. The Millard West prep athlete uses her wide, fast approach to drive through the ball and produce unstoppable heat. Nielsen has also harnessed her ability to turn down the line when opposing teams try to neutralize her crosscourt shot. 15 Black's podium performance has expanded the list of Omaha-area underclassmen to watch this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["774609"],"_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-686f07083a704"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[program_tooltip program_id='428743' first='VCNebraska' last=''] 15 Black's special season has added a wealth of 2028 stars to our radar. Valish joins the team's stacked frontcourt and instantly transforms 15 Black's left-side offense. The Malcolm native wielded a lethal crosscourt shot at GJNC while also showing the finesse needed to score with off-speed shots. Valish's high-volume performances in Dallas prove she's ready to shine in the small-town prep scene this fall. Malcolm High School knows how to develop outside hitters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["573571"],"_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-686f07083a769"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Speaking of small-town gems, South Central NE 15 Black is ushering in the next wave of rural prospects from the Class of 2028. 15 Black earned its way into the 15 Liberty field through the Show Me Qualifier--a typical route for South Central NE's top teams. Cisneros proved to be an indispensable part of 15 Black's high-profile success with her lockdown defense from the back row. The Milford libero is also an unflappable passer, allowing 15 Black to run its balanced offense with maximum efficiency. We're anxious to see Cisneros' next high school campaign after Milford's extraordinary tournament run last fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["774690"],"_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-686f07083a7c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We got to see many Club Legacy squads compete at AAU Nationals, but 15 Alpha won its way to Dallas by claiming the Show Me Qualifier's 15 American championship. Buechler has been a dominant force in 15 Alpha's offense and can tee off on either side of the setter. Her well-rounded game reminds us of so many other successful Club Legacy attackers, particularly from this year's 16s teams. It looks like the 15s will keep the good times rolling at Club Legacy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
