South Central NE’s changes and lineup shuffles have also shown us a new layer of Bauer’s game. In previous seasons, we’ve seen Bauer’s multi-dimensional impact as a middle-opposite hybrid player. However, because of this year’s roster circumstances, we’ve seen Bauer log increasing reps on the left side. The Deshler junior has thrived under increased pressure and has also flexed her backcourt versatility. 17 Black needed its players to adapt and evolve this season, and Bauer has embodied this mindset perfectly.
