Another Islander enters the spotlight. GISH has leaned on its exceptional senior class this year while pursuing back-to-back Class A tournament appearances. Wentzlaff anchors the setter spot and has averaged over ten assists per set for the second consecutive season. This outstanding clip has put Wentzlaff on the verge of 2,000 assists in just a pair of seasons with the Islanders. It’s a reachable mark, especially if Grand Island makes another I-80 trip toward Lincoln next month.

We jumped at the opportunity to add Wentzlaff to our 2025 rankings this fall. Her precision at the setter spot is helping usher in a “program renaissance” that could bring Grand Island to the Class A tournament. Wentzlaff is credited with 10.5 assists per set this year, which ranks among Nebraska’s best in any class. The state tournament is Nebraska’s best venue to put stars on the map, so 2023 could offer a major opportunity for Wentzlaff and the Islanders.

Wentzlaff is due a ton of credit for Grand Island’s rise in 2023. She knows how to find the hot hitter and will spread the ball around at the same time. The junior setter is part of a select group of Nebraska prep athletes averaging over ten assists per set this fall.
