Clarkson/Leigh’s runner-up triumph in Class C2 was a true team effort. Settje was one of several Patriots who posted career-best numbers in 2023, and this was an especially important development for Clarkson/Leigh’s outside hitter spot. Whenever blockers started cheating toward the middles, Settje would capitalize with some clutch swings on the pins. We also have to recognize Settje’s team-leading dig total in a Clarkson/Leigh lineup that did not use a libero. Floor defense needed to be a collective effort, and the junior outside hitter took the reins.
