The Nelms name has become synonymous with Bartley Southwest’s sophomore duo in the middle, but what about the junior outside hitter? Atleigh was active in her six-rotation role as the Roughriders locked up Class D1’s #2 seed after a 29-3 regular season. Nelms had the length and reach to over the top of some blockers, and that’s never an easy ball to defend. This talented pin hitter will look forward to becoming a senior after Southwest only had one such player on the 2023 roster. That’s a good omen for sustained success.
