Hastings St. Cecilia is ready to transition from underdog to frontrunner. VanSkiver piloted the Bluehawk offense en route to a late-season surge and an upset berth in the Class C2 quarterfinals. We’ve seen VanSkiver’s savvy setting materialize with Nebraska Juniors, and that experience applies to the prep side, too.

VanSkiver’s steady climb began as Hastings St. Cecilia clinched a berth in last fall’s state championship. The experienced setter has transitioned to the Nebraska Juniors gym and is delivering more impressive results with 17 Red. This small-town star has formed excellent connections with her Nebraska Juniors hitters and is eager to rack up her own attacks on the second ball. VanSkiver is due for another state championship push in her swan song season.

The past several months have been big for VanSkiver. She was a past standout on the Prep Dig Circuit and piloted the Hastings St. Cecilia offense in her junior year. That squad broke into the state tournament, allowing VanSkiver to showcase her skills against the state’s best. VanSkiver returned to the Nebraska Juniors 17 Red lineup and compiled a winning record over the holiday weekend. Her combination of setting prowess and defensive instincts has offered a constant boost to 17 Red in any situation.

We were excited to see VanSkiver and Hastings St. Cecilia break into this year’s tournament after a big win in the district finals. VanSkiver finished the regular season with over 900 assists to rank among the top setters in Class C2. The Nebraska Juniors standout remained a stabilizing force during St. Cecilia’s physical quarterfinal contest with Lincoln Lutheran. Expect more of the same next fall.

VanSkiver’s consistent development has helped turn Hastings St. Cecilia into a postseason contender. The junior setter impressed us during this year’s club season, so her emergence as an exceptional setter is no surprise. She is generating ten assists per set while spreading the ball to several of St. Cecilia’s high-flying attackers. The Bluehawks are part of a stacked group of Class C2 contenders, but VanSkiver’s precise setting could lead her team to Lincoln.

Let’s put South Central NE on the board. VanSkiver is a fascinating prospect who has spent time at both libero and setter, so keep an eye on that multi-dimensional skillset this spring. Her Hastings St. Cecilia prep team has been on the rise lately, and VanSkiver’s high school numbers were a motivating factor toward her inclusion in the rankings. The club season is another chance to raise her stock even further.
