Annaclaire Bugbee Annaclaire Bugbee 6'2" | MB/RS Mandan | 2028 State ND holds the No. 2 middle spot in North Dakota’s 2028 class, and she brings constant activity to the position. Bugbee doesn’t spend much time standing still. She works, transitions, and finds ways to stay involved in the play.

Offensively, I like how quickly she can become an option. She gets off the floor, gets her arm through, and can put a ball down when she’s available in rhythm. But what really helps an offense is how often she makes herself available. Bugbee keeps coming, and eventually the block has to respect her. That leaves much more room for the pins around her.

Defensively, she works along the net and competes to get in front of hitters. She stays engaged with her block and doesn’t give up on a play just because the ball moves away from her. Watch her through an entire rally, and you’ll see how much ground she covers and how often she gets herself back into the play.

The motor is what stays with me when I watch Annaclaire play. Middle is a demanding position, and Bugbee keeps working through it. First move, transition, get back up, and find the next play. She makes you notice how much a middle can impact a rally, even if she isn’t always the one who finishes it. ~Theresa@prepdigdakotas
