Unranked Sophomore Setters With Hot Starts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Setters are arguably the most important position on a volleyball team, and for me, the most difficult to scout.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Digs and kills are easy track, but I have to be super dialed in not to lose track of assists.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It is even more difficult when a team has two setters sharing duties.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are four sophomore athletes among the leaders in assists in the state of Kansas. I found them by searching through stats on MaxPreps. MaxPreps, HUDL, and X are still the best platforms for athletes to get noticed by Prep Dig without a scout seeing you play in person.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Dig Profiles for all four of these athletes have been created, and they will each join the rankings in October.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Athletes can claim their profiles for free by utilizing the link below.

In 12 sets played this season, she has dished out 81 assists.
