<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Junior 5’9 OH </span><b>[player_tooltip player_id="103001" first="Lilly" last="Rowe"]</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> - </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The connections on the court are the same as the connections off the court. I love my teammates and they are truly my best friends. We have a new girl, [player_tooltip player_id="58803" first="Jordie" last="Nekl"], in my grade coming from Shelby Rising City. I am so excited for her to join our team!</span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Junior 5’11 MH </span><b>[player_tooltip player_id="58814" first="Mallori" last="Kucera"]</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (another transfer in after her freshman season at David City Aquinas) - </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our connection on the court as a team is like no other because we have an amazing family bond. This year we are getting a new player to our team and she is going to be a Junior, her name is [player_tooltip player_id="58803" first="Jordie" last="Nekl"] and I am more than excited to have her join our squad.</span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Senior 5-8 Setter </span><b>[player_tooltip player_id="58251" first="Reese" last="Janssen"]</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> - </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">We are all very close and a tight-knit group. we get along very well and push each other to do their best. we consider ourselves a family rather than a team. [player_tooltip player_id="58803" first="Jordie" last="Nekl"] is transferring to Lakeview next year and I am super excited to meet her and get to work, bond, and play volleyball with her.</span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Junior 5’5 Libero/DS </span><b>[player_tooltip player_id="103106" first="Saylor" last="Eberhart"]</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> - </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our team will be mostly the same players as last year, so we have a pretty good bond already. I’m super excited to have another defensive player on our team.</span></i></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the Vikings graduated two seniors in 2019, Jordie will join a strong junior class. Jordie looks to fit into the game plan perfectly! Welcome to Columbus Lakeview Jordie!</span></p>
