Whenever we host these showcases, some players will inevitably surprise us. Standout performances often motivate rankings boosts and other recognition, and the players below have earned that distinction at our latest La Vista event.
So, here are a few more stock risers from #PDStockUpNE.
Moone is one of several Banzai athletes who have surged throughout the 2023 club season. That positive momentum culminated in another strong showing for Moone at the Nebraska Stock Up Showcase. Her wide range of skills is not limited to frontcourt attacking, as she has the ball control skills to make an impact in the backcourt, too. There are few better venues than showcases to exhibit this kind of versatility.
Highlights
Swiercinsky has rocketed up the 2025 leaderboards this year, so another stock-rising performance at last week’s showcase is nothing new for her. VCN 16 Black got so much from their standout libero. Swiercinsky is a steady hand in serve receive, plays fearless defense in the crosscourt, and is the kind of teammate that players can rally around. Lincoln-area liberos are undoubtedly on the rise.
We might as well bring an Omaha-area libero into the fray, too. Faiman is coming off an incredible productive sophomore season with Bellevue West and brought the same stat-stuffing presence to River City Jrs 16 Red. She proved to be an incredible asset to whichever team she was on at our showcase, so Faiman’s impact persists regardless of circumstances. A rankings boost is warranted.
Highlights
Stowe is part of a new wave of talent that can make a splash with Elkhorn South this fall. She has proven her aptitude as both a middle blocker and a right-side hitter, so we’ll see where Stowe gets most of her future reps. Regardless, this Premier 16 Silver athlete has been a reliable front-row terminator who has used the busy 2023 schedule to her advantage. The Nebraska Stock Up Showcase was just another chapter in her steady ascent.
The River City-Bellevue West pipeline is well represented here with Toelle joining the fray alongside Faiman. Toelle is yet another multi-dimensional athlete who has spent time in the middle as well as the pin. It’s a testament to Toelle’s willingness to adapt to team needs, and we’re anxious to see how that translates to the upcoming prep season.
We’ve discussed Bellamy’s unique role before. She’s a rare instance of a lefty attacker who spends much of her time on the left pin for VCN 15 Black. Bellamy harnessed this unusual combination and became a go-to scorer when 15 Black took on GJNC. The same can be said of Bellamy’s performance at the Stock Up Showcase, and her steady rise will be worth following at Lincoln Southwest.
Nebraska Elite rounds out this feature with an impressive all-around pin hitter. 15 Xtreme leaned on Zabloudil whenever a clutch kill was needed, and the Gretna athlete was always there to deliver. Her primary role is at the opposite position, but don’t discount Zabloudil’s ability to terminate on the left.
