St. Paul has steadily climbed the Class C1 hierarchy for the past few seasons, and Platek is determined to take the Wildcats a step further. This dynamic sophomore pin hitter has gone through, around, and over opposing blockers en route to nearly three kills per set this fall. Platek’s range stood out at South Central NE this spring, but the fall season has been her best yet. St. Paul will make the quick hop to Aurora High School with big upset aspirations in the C1-8 bracket.

Platek joins a wide array of multi-talented frontcourt attackers in the South Central NE 15 Black frontcourt. The St. Paul standout can oscillate between pins, giving the small-town crew no shortage of lineup options to consider for GJNC. And, like many of her 15 Black teammates, Platek has already logged plenty of varsity experience while putting up a triple-digit kill total for the Wildcats. That momentum should lead to a big finish to 2026.

It should be no surprise that St. Paul High School athletes are a centerpiece of South Central NE’s success. Platek adds to the narrative in the Class of 2029 and brings her well-rounded game to the 15 Black lineup. Late-season momentum is rising after Platek and her team secured a GJNC spot through the GPR Bid Tournament. If 15 Black needed a spark in the front row or some passing stability along the end line, Platek was there to deliver. She’s a true do-everything athlete who will carry her hot streak into Year 2 with the Wildcats.
