When Bellevue West needed a clutch kill, Eggiman was the clear go-to. An upset win over Lincoln East in the quarterfinals gave us one more stark reminder of how clutch Eggiman can be on big stages. It was an exciting return to Lincoln after a multi-year absence, and Eggiman has helped bring the Thunderbirds back to their winning ways.

Just another standout weekend for Eggiman. We’re used to that by now. She was the primary catalyst for Bellevue West’s success, which is nothing new for the Thunderbirds and their veteran hitter. Eggiman wanted the ball in crucial spots and delivered, particularly in Saturday’s three-set battle with Lincoln East. Her ascent during the club season was clearly a precursor to Eggiman’s strongest year yet at Bellevue West.

Eggiman knows how to take a leading role. She’s been doing it every year of her prep tenure with Bellevue West. The Thunderbirds can harness Eggiman’s incredible athleticism on the pin but will get blocking production from their senior, too. We’ll see all of those skills flourish as Eggiman and Bellevue West face off against the state’s best lineups.

Eggiman’s rapid ascent up the 2024 hierarchy has been a major storyline in the Premier Nebraska gym. She joined a new squad this year and made an immediate impact among Premier 17 Red’s talented pack of pin hitters. That influenced showed up as 17 Red clinched a trip to Nationals last month, and Eggiman is poised to keep thriving during the Chicago trip.

While Ligon was tearing it up in the middle, Eggiman was become a game-wrecking force on the pin. It’s been incredible to watch Eggiman’s game elevate with every passing season, and now she is an unquestioned leader in the Premier 17 Red lineup. Some of the most impressive floor-denting hits of the Great Plains Bid Tournament came directly from Eggiman’s right arm.

We mentioned before this event that Eggiman would be surrounded by some new faces with 17 Red this year. That’s not slowing her down at all. In fact, Eggiman has taken her game up a notch as hard-hitting outside attacker who can score on any pin in any situation. This sudden spark of offense will carry 17 Red far this year.

We have a lot of intra-club shifts to talk about here, and Eggiman is one example of this. After competing with last year’s successful Premier Nebraska 16 Silver team, Eggiman will be surrounded by plenty of new faces when she moves to 17 Red this season. This new influx of firepower worked out well at this weekend’s Power League, and Eggiman will play a vital role in the team’s pursuit of a Nationals bid.
