Humboldt surprised folks with its historic run to last season’s state championship match. By the looks of what the Wildcats return and what they’re adding in the freshman class, they won’t be sneaking up on anyone for awhile. Emick is a middle hitter packed with potential based on what we saw from her at the Prep Dig Iowa Stock Up Showcase during July in Clive. There’s height, long arms, bounce off the court and fundamentals coming together to create an intimidating force in the middle of the net. Emick is definitely a player to watch.
