Expert Analysis
Austin Kingsley | Prep Dig Scout
Speed is the name of the game for Backemeyer. She’s so difficult to defend because she can get from pin to pin before opposing blockers have a chance to track her. Backemeyer also disguises her routes well and thrives in the two-hitter rotations that give her free reign at the net. Look out for Elmwood-Murdock’s new offensive leader.

We’ll carry so many fond memories of Backemeyer’s time on the state tournament stage. She was a common sight at Pinnacle Bank Arena as she helped anchor one of the scrappiest teams of the last few years. Backemeyer wielded her superior instincts and quick reactions every time she donned the Elmwood-Murdock libero jersey, and that kind of impact won’t soon be forgotten.

Backemeyer’s defensive instincts have propelled Elmwood-Murdock into the spotlight throughout this libero’s prep tenure. She is never afraid to stand in the crosscourt and absorb heat from some of the state’s most formidable attackers. 2023 has already given us the best of Backemeyer in various club venues, so she won’t skip a beat with the Knights this fall.

Backemeyer’s name pops up again and again on a variety of prep stages. Her lockdown defense has been a spark for Elmwood-Murdock’s recent run of success on the high school side. This libero doesn’t slow down when club season rolls around, as Backemeyer’s steady floor presence makes her a persistent standout with Nebraska Juniors 17 Black. Another stout performance in Orlando was a perfect way to wrap up the 2023 season.

Backemeyer keeps putting in work for Elmwood-Murdock. We got a glimpse of her defensive dominance at last year’s state championships, and 2022 has already offered more of the same. It’s almost a sure bet that she will be one of the most statistically productive defenders in the state, and Backemeyer could even top her massive totals from last season.

Backemeyer was one of my favorite liberos to watch during last year’s state championships. Her Elmwood-Murdock team came into Lincoln as an underdog, but Backemeyer’s sprawling defensive plays and rock-solid passing had the Knights exceeding all expectations in November. We could see more of the same by year’s end.
