Let’s go west! Rapp has garnered mention here before. We were taken aback by Wild West Volleyball Academy’s top 17s crew at the GPR Bid Tournament, and Rapp made it easy to forget she was playing up a year. Her stout defensive plays set the standard throughout 2026, all the way to a trip to the Salt Lake City Showdown in late April. Rapp’s next stop is Ogallala, last year’s top seed in Class C1.

Let’s close it out in the Wild West. Rapp was one of several Western Nebraska gems who stood out as Wild West Volleyball Academy trekked eastward for the Great Plains Region Bid Tournament. This Ogallala gem climbed the age ladder to represent Wild West’s top 17s crew, and Rapp promptly brought defensive range beyond her years. Her stability as a primary passer lifted WWVA to a trio of wins at the bid tournament, establishing a rural foothold against big-city foes. Rapp can now look forward to building off a historic 2025 campaign with Ogallala, and another eastward postseason trip could be on the way.

Why not add to the rural influence? Rapp trekked from Ogallala to participate in the Nebraska Exposure Tour, and we’re so glad she did. The 2028 prospect landed on our radar after Ogallala High School soared to Class C1’s top seed this fall. Rapp pitched in through her tireless effort in the back row and brought the same energy to our showcase. She gets her feet to the ball quickly and is not afraid to absorb contact down the line. This multi-sport athlete is ready to make her western Nebraska ascent.
