High School Means the Return of the Dub-Dub

Now that high school season is underway, one of my favorite pieces to publish on Wednesday is the Dub-Dub. I randomly select players from high school matches who had a good night with a double-double. That could be kills/digs, assists/digs, kills/assists...whatever variation gets you there. I am transparent in my method. A dub-dub in a two or three-set match is more impressive at times than one in a four-five set match, so I begin with those box scores, then work my way through. Secondly, I try to highlight as many as possible, but tend to toss new names out there that don't get as much pub to let them know we at Prep Dig see their work. I typically look at matches from Tuesday to Tuesday, hence the Wednesday drop. And finally, I do focus on the winning teams. Enjoy the Dub-Dub.   Last week in a sweep, Fort Zumwalt North's Lily Hahn collected 13 digs to go with her 15 assists.   Sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='222067' first='Savannah' last='Crane'] dished a game-high 32 assists, while adding 11 digs to propel Webb City over Clever.   Potosi earned a sweep behind 17 kills and 12 digs from [player_tooltip player_id='809606' first='Eden' last='Robart'].   Maryville knocked down Benton in three sets and got a double-double from Senior [player_tooltip player_id='828685' first='Abigail' last='Bowe']. She ended with 12 kills and 16 digs.   When your family is dishing out the ball, you have a strong chance of getting the offensive numbers for the dub-dub. [player_tooltip player_id='237005' first='Olivia' last='Engeman'] did such 16 kills and 10 digs in a sweep for Adrian.   [player_tooltip player_id='232323' first='Lexi' last='Lindsey'] led Wiona with 32 assists and 12 digs in a three-set win over Thayer.   Setter Tess Walker helped lead Park Hill to a sweep over Oak Park with a 15-assist, 10-dig outing.   Cor Jesu saw [player_tooltip player_id='222069' first='Lauren' last='Ortwerth'] come through with 14 kills and 12 digs in a mid-week sweep.   A pair of dub-dubs from Jefferson City. [player_tooltip player_id='782595' first='Haley' last='Niermeyer'] and [player_tooltip player_id='475325' first='Leah' last='Heisler'] took care of business with 14 and 15 kills, respectively. They added 18 and 14 digs to complete the deal.   The Festus Tigers had a double-double with sophomore setter [player_tooltip player_id='772553' first='Lauren' last='Whitehead']'s 12 digs and 24 assists.   Strafford produced a triple-dub and a double-dub in a recent win. [player_tooltip player_id='664702' first='Ava' last='Lane'] had a stat line of 12 kills, 10 digs, and 10 assists, showing her versatility. [player_tooltip player_id='490211' first='Reese' last='Darnell'] was one kill shy of joining her in the category, but not too shabby with 25 assists and 11 digs.
