I don’t follow Illinois prep volleyball but quite a few Land of Lincoln residents compete for Iowa clubs. I enjoy the exposure to talent from our neighbors to the the east. That happened at the 2026 Nike President’s Day Classic in St. Louis when watching Adrenaline 17 Marty. Bauer brings a loud game to the middle of the net. She makes up for being undersized by jumping out of the gym. Bauer generates serious power with her right arm, rearing back and dropping the hammer. Her explosion and timing lead to producing an effective block. Bauer is athletic and moves well laterally. She’s uncommitted and could help plenty of college programs.
