Craven’s leadership has already been a talking point on the postseason stage. This dynamic setter embraces these challenges and has a knack for rallying her Banzai VBC 17 Select teammates. April’s Windy City Qualifier laid the foundation for Banzai’s trip to GJNC in the 17 Liberty division. From there, Craven has kept improving through her distribution and up-tempo sets. Ashland-Greenwood adds another name to its long list of talented setters.

Craven has long been the centerpiece of so many Banzai VBC triumphs. We gave this Ashland-Greenwood setter a few shoutouts during the 2023 season as her team clinched a GJNC bid through the Great Plains Region. This year, Craven and 17 Select decided to take care of “bid-ness” outside of the region. A runner-up finish at the Windy City Qualifier has put Craven back in the spotlight, and 17 Select followed that up with a strong showing at the Great Plains Regional Championships. Vegas is next on the agenda.

Why not make it a Banzai VBC trio? Craven is Fast’s teammate at 17 Select, giving the team a true dual threat at the setter spot. We repeatedly praised Craven’s work with 16 Select last year as she piloted one of Banzai VBC’s best offenses in recent memory. Craven has also been a foundation of Ashland-Greenwood’s success with multiple seasons as the starter. We can’t wait to see what this standout 2025 accomplishes with her stacked club squad.

Craven was a frequent topic of discussion as she led Banzai VBC 16 Select to a GJNC appearance this summer. It’s no surprise to see this athlete have all-around success after she broke onto the prep scene with Ashland-Greenwood. Craven’s consistent distribution will allow the Bluejays maintain their winning ways.

We’re still marveling at how impactful Craven was as Banzai 16 Select’s setter. She has seized full control of that position as a 5-1 operator who can find the hot hitter at any time. Craven has already demonstrated ability to compile impressive stats with Ashland-Greenwood on the high school side, but this 2023 campaign with Banzai was on another level. GJNC was a perfect way to cap off Craven’s ascent with her club squad.

We’re getting some nice club variety in this feature as Craven joins the fray from Banzai. This is another athlete we can look forward to seeing at Nationals, too. 16 Select put together some clutch wins at last month’s Great Plains Bid Tournament, and Craven had a lot to do with that season-ending hot streak. We’re ready to see some of that smooth offense emerge yet again as Banzai VBC takes on club volleyball’s biggest stage.

There’s a lot of credit to go around for Banzai VBC 16 Select’s extraordinary results this season. Craven is one of those that deserves a stock-riser nod. She has proven to be a reliable setter whether she’s playing all the way around or just in the backcourt. Having so many clubs represented in this feature is a good omen for Nebraska’s Class of 2025 as a whole.

Bring on more of these small-town talents. Banzai VBC 16 Select posted an impressive top-ten finish in Show Me’s 16 USA division, and Craven remains a major factor in the team’s success. This multi-sport star from Ashland-Greenwood can play a variety of roles on the volleyball court, from setting a 5-1 to hitting on the right side as a go-to opposite. Either way, Craven is a name that’s sure to rise up our rankings.

Ashland-Greenwood has played plenty of quality volleyball lately, and Craven is an athlete who can help keep that trend going into the future. It might be tough for a freshman setter to step in and handle that kind of pressure, but this 2025 athlete never seemed intimidated.
