This is the first of multiple reports previewing the event. I plan to feature attendees each Saturday until the Showcase, or until I run out of players to feature.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Athletes can use the Coupon Code DeckardDig2024 to save $10.00 off their registration.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='492576' first='Chanya' last='Kitchaiya']</strong>, 5'5”, DS/L, Blue Valley Northwest, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kitchaiya is a prospect I look forward to seeing in the Showcase. She is currently ranked No. 91 overall in the class of 2025 and the eighth-ranked libero by Prep Dig. Kitchaiya plays club ball for [program_tooltip program_id='430200' first='KC' last='Power'] and an athlete I managed to miss play last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='515585' first='Malasy' last='Sakounlaphoum']</strong>, 5'4”, DS/L, Olathe East, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sakounlaphpim is currently ranked No. 121 overall in the class of 2025. I featured her in a report in January. She plays club ball with [program_tooltip program_id='430200' first='KC' last='Power'] and I want to see how her skills have advanced since I saw her last.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='445556' first='Tessa' last='Nover-Estes']</strong>, 6'0”, S, Free State, ‘27</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nover-Estes is one of the highest-ranked players registered for the event. The Free State setter is ranked No. 20 overall and the third-ranked setter in the class of 2027. She collected 317 assists in 81 varsity sets as a freshman. The Prep Dig showcase does provide extra exposure for setters, who often can get overlooked by scouts during live matches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='446318' first='Harriet' last='Dean']</strong>, 5'7”, S, Jefferson West, ‘27</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dean is currently ranked No. 45 overall in the Prep Dig Kansas Class of 2027 rankings. Dean recorded 247 assists and 123 digs in 73 sets of varsity action last fall. I have seen Jefferson West play and Dean is a small-school prospect who will benefit from attending the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='446331' first='Ali' last='Jo Henry']</strong>, 5'8”, OH, &nbsp;Nemaha Central, ‘27</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a double preview of Henry as I will see Nemaha Central play in summer league action this Wednesday in Seneca. Henry is currently ranked No. 54 overall in the class of 2027. I have seen her compete for the Thunder and watched her work out at a club open gym. Now, I want to see if she stands out from some of the top talent in the region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
