Thomas More Prep-Marian garnered a lot of attention after reaching the 2A semis as the No. 7 seed. It’s a testament to the effort of players like Gottschalk to take the Monarchs to a new level when it matters most. This hard-hitting attacker logged multiple double-digit-kill performances at last weekend’s tournament, catalyzing three-set wins over Chase County and Moundridge. Gottschalk is an unconventional attacker who operates best when approaching the inner third of the court. Good luck tracking this springy hitter in the frontcourt.
