Expert Analysis
Jesse Etter | Prep Dig Scout
A Swiss army knife for CPA, Palelek is a setter with quick feet who can pass as a DS or step in and play the libero position if needed. At Regionals she passed in several rotations and was on the ground poking up gritty digs for her squad when she wasn’t setting in a 6-2 with Westmont commit Ella Hosfeld. Palelek is committed to playing indoor and sand next season at Bushnell in Oregon, and the Gonzaga Prep senior was a four-year starter who helped lead the Bullpups to consecutive state tournament appearances after a decade+ long absence.

Palelek is an undersized defensive wizard, and she will be playing beach and indoor at the next level for Bushnell in Eugene. Gonzaga prep was at their best when she played all the way around in a 5-1, even giving up some size in the block. Palelek made up for that easily with her smart defense and ability to find her hitters on the move. She spent four years racking up aces with a precision short serve that drove opponents crazy.

Read EvaluationJesse Etter | Prep Dig Scout
A setter with a great feel, Palelek set up her two dynamic outsides at Prep, leading the team into the semis. She has a knuckle-balling jump float and is great at dumping when the defense is unorganized. Her best quality may be her calm presence on the court, she thinks about the moments in the game and makes the right play at the right time.
