About Mali
Expert Analysis
Rachel Kass | Prep Dig Scout
Mali brought the heat throughout the weekend, and it seemed like with every match she played, she only got better. It culminated in the championship match, where she was nearly unstoppable. Her defense and offense were lights out, and her back-row attack was a game-changer for her team. No one seemed to have an answer for Mali’s explosive play.

– Setter
Mali plays the position with a level of discipline and technical detail that jumps off the court. Her footwork to the ball is consistent, she creates ideal body positions on second contact, and her ability to deliver in-tempo balls regardless of location makes her invaluable.
She’s a setter who understands strategy early: when to speed up, when to slow down, how to spread the ball to force single blockers. Mali also competes hard defensively—she reads seams, takes quality first contacts, and transitions quickly into ready position. Her ceiling is high because the foundation is already so polished. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas

Quam is already a veteran on the Kenyan-Wanamingo squad and she is only an incoming freshman. Quam is one of those versatile players that can do a little bit of everything. She is an excellent defender, coming up with some huge digs. Last year, she averaged 4.2 digs/set. She is also a smart attacker that can find the open spots on the court, averaging an impressive 3.4 kills/set last year as an 8th grader. Quam can also run the show as a setter. It will be interesting to see what position or role she has this year. However, one thing is for certain, we will find her on the court court no matter what.

is a setter you’ll definitely be hearing more about. She’s quick, competitive, and brings relentless hustle to every point. Mali is already showing confidence in running the court, and her setter dumps are smart, well-timed, and tough to read—something rare at this age. Her serve is both precise and powerful, putting opponents on their heels right from the start. With her court presence and fast-developing skill set, Mali is on track to make a serious impact this upcoming school season.~Theresa @prepdigdakotas
