<p>Another big weekend full of fun tournaments. There are 2 in the Milwaukee area that are closely connected, with one serving as a qualifying tournament for the other. Keep the updates coming over the weekend! Make sure to follow updates on our Facebook page and tag @PrepDigWI with your results on twitter so we can retweet. Here are the 3 events in the spotlight this weekend</p>
<p><strong><u>SPRAWL QUALIFYING TOURNAMENT – September 21<sup>st</sup> – 22<sup>nd</sup></u></strong></p>
<p>The Milwaukee Sting Center will host 24 teams this weekend for another 2-day tournament. There are a LOT of teams in this tournament looking to make a statement and get an entry into the big Lynn LaPorte Sprawl. There are a few ranked teams that I would love to see square off, such as Waunakee, Sheboygan North, Waukesha West, and Xavier. One good match-up we are guaranteed comes between Cedarburg and Wisconsin Lutheran. While being ranked, Cedarburg may be operating a bit under the radar, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them take it all the way through this weekend. Cedarburg is led by <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="56003" first="Kiara" last="Reinhardt"] </strong>(2020 – Committed to Creighton) who recorded a season high 7 blocks in their win over Slinger last week. </p>

<p><strong><u>LYNN LAPORTE SPRAWL – September 21<sup>st</sup> – 22<sup>nd</sup></u></strong></p>
<p>The Sprawl has 24 teams competing, and most are highly ranked by Prep Dig. Let’s take a look at a few dark horses. In Pool D we have Appleton North led by <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="80719" first="Brooke" last="Bolwerk"] </strong>(2021 – 5’6 – Setter/Right Side), who recorded her fourth match with reaching her career high 3 aces and tallied a career high 22 assists last week in their 3-0 win over Oshkosh North.</p>
<p>In Pool E we have East Troy. and they will have their work cut out for them. They previously beat West Bend West at the Lancer Invite, but it took 3 sets. East Troy is led by <strong>Brianna Scuric </strong>(2019 – Committed to Northern Illinois), who recently matched a season high 18 kills and <strong>Mati Jakscht </strong>(2019 – 5’6 – Libero), who recorded a season high 25 digs in their 3-1 win over McFarland last week. Another key for the Trojans, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="80176" first="Emily" last="Wendt"] </strong>(2020 – 5’9 – Setter), matched a career high 6 aces on Tuesday in their 3-0 win over Edgerton. Also in Pool E is Kimberly, who went 3-2 at the Charger Rally last weekend but has had some big wins recently against Neenah and Oconomowoc. Kimberly is led by <strong>Maddy Schreiber</strong> (2021 – Middle Blocker), who matched her career high of 4 blocks in 3 different matches this past week.</p>

<p><strong><u>APPLETON EAST INVITE – September 22<sup>nd</sup></u></strong></p>
<p>Appleton East (9-12) will be hosting Appleton West (4-18), Ashwaubenon (19-4) *Prep Dig Ranked #20 in D1, Bay Port (12-6), Chilton (17-5) *Prep Dig Ranked #10 in D2, Green Bay East (2-8), Hortonville (11-11), Stevens Point (SPASH) (23-1) *Prep Dig Ranked #13 in D1, Little Chute (19-0) *Prep Dig Ranked #5 in D2, DeForest (14-11), DC Everest (9-12), and Pewaukee (14-9). This tournament will provide some interesting match-ups and a good challenge for teams like SPASH. SPASH is led by a solid group of seniors like <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="32739" first="Kayla" last="Lass"] </strong>(Committed to UW-Green Bay), who recorded a season high 16 kills, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="33082" first="Gabby" last="Johnson"] </strong>(Middle Blocker/Pin Hitter), who put up a season high of 6 blocks, and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="33115" first="Megan" last="Miklesh"] </strong>(Libero), who tallied a season high 29 digs in their 3-1 win over Merrill last week. I would love to see match-ups between Ashwaubenon, Chilton, SPASH, and Little Chute.</p>
