When I saw Six Pack 17 competing at the Windy City National Qualifier in early April, Demmer was operating as the team’s defensive specialist. A week later at the ASICS Show Me National Qualifier in Kansas City, the Western Dubuque junior was wearing the jersey. In both instances, she’d shown growth since my last in-person scouting opportunity last club campaign. That wasn’t surprising considering Demmer registered 424 digs for the Bobcats during last season. Demmer flashes the instincts and reflexes required for success in the back row. She flows well with the action and gets to her spots, delivering precise passes off of digs. Demmer picks up the ball well in serve-receive and communicates well with teammates. With her Six Pack team winning the Liberty Division in KC, it will play in this summer’s USAV National Tournament in Indianapolis. Demmer will benefit from the exposure as someone worthy of more attention along the recruiting trail.

Gabrielle Demmer Gabrielle Demmer 5'3" | DS/L Western Dubuque | 2027 State IA controlled the back row today with clean, intentional first contact. She consistently set her platform early and was able to absorb pace off hard-driven swings, turning those into in-system balls. Her ability to stay balanced through contact allowed her to direct digs to target instead of just keeping the ball alive.

She covered cross-court space extremely well, reading the hitter’s shoulder and getting her body behind the ball. Demmer’s control and consistency kept her team in system and allowed them to transition efficiently. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas

Demmer proved she could play last season whe she led the Bobcats with 447 digs as a sophomore. She’s carried her prep success over to the club campaign for Six Pack. While Demmer is chasing more consistency like every defensive specialist, she delivers at a high rate with room to grow her game with continued hard work. Demmer shows quick reactions and moves well laterally. She reads the attack and most often is in proper position to make plays.
