Backemeyer captured our attention when she led the charge for last year’s Nebraska Juniors 15 Black team. The Elmwood-Murdock sophomore can play around the dial as a 5-1 setter, or she can shoulder attacking duties along the net if needed. Her distribution skills took precedence with the Knights last fall, culminating in 7.7 assists per set for Elmwood-Murdock’s underclassman signal-caller. Backemeyer’s wide-ranging roles will keep evolving through another year in the Nebraska Juniors gym.
