Nelms was the engine for Bartley Southwest’s undefeated regular season, and that statement is twofold with Kyra and Anikka taking over at the net. Kyra stood out during Friday’s semifinal showdown with Exeter-Milligan/Friend, as the junior attacker terminated 24 times in four sets. Her intensity and competitive spirit were also positive influences for the Roughriders, and we anticipate the same impact next season.

Bartley Southwest’s perfect run ended in the semifinals, but this group will be back. Nelms is a clear reason for optimism after she carved through the EMF defense through much of Friday’s match. She was especially effective in Set 3 as the Roughriders rolled to victory to keep the season alive. Nelms is the kind of middle blocker who can shift to the outside to get that key kill in crunch time. That strategy worked wonders in Lincoln.
