Expert Analysis
Austin Kingsley | Prep Dig Scout
Setters are well-represented in this one. Bartholet is a crafty, experienced signal-caller who brings a lot more than just quality sets. She is also not afraid to wield a lethal set-over dump that leaves opposing defenses flat-footed. We’ve seen Bartholet thrive whether she’s setting from the back row or running a 5-1 offense herself. That leadership has propelled Premier Nebraska 17 Red into the regional discussion heading into March.

The Premier Nebraska tally grows with Bartholet making a big impression in her first year with the club. She took the reins with Premier Nebraska 16 Red and, like Eymann, had some of her best showings in Kansas City for the Show Me Qualifier. Bartholet has never been afraid to make risky, dynamic sets. We were reminded of this trait when she appeared at our most recent Prep Dig Showcase.

Bartholet was a new addition to the Premier Nebraska gym this year, and she didn’t wait long to make her mark. The same storyline played out at Sunday’s showcase, where Bartholet dished the ball with perfect pace and location. She even manages to establish an attacking presence as a back-row setter with her lethal set-over maneuver. Bartholet’s next stop is Omaha Skutt Catholic, the Class B dynasty seeking its tenth consecutive championship.

Bartholet can command an offense under any circumstances. She moved to Premier 16 Red this year and has meshed well with all the attackers around her. That steady ball control helped 16 Red get within one match of a Liberty bid in Kansas City, so the bar is high heading into this weekend’s tournament.

Setters with new club teams have dominated this discussion so far. Let’s bring in one more. Bartholet joins the Premier Nebraska fray for 2024 and is already fitting in with 16 Red. Our past scouting reports on this savvy setter still ring true in a different environment. Bartholet is extraordinary in the back row and has the foot speed to track down any errant passes. She also has a deceptive set-over dump that makes her an attacking threat in any rotation. As team cohesion keeps developing, Bartholet and 16 Red could be a bid threat on the USAV qualifier stage.

The 2024 club season will be a change of scenery for Bartholet, who makes the move to Premier Nebraska this spring. We’ve had previous discussions about how deceptive Bartholet can be, particularly as a back-row setter. She wields a lethal setover dump that allows her to be an attacking threat even when she’s not in the frontcourt. Bartholet connected well with anyone at our showcase, so her club movement shouldn’t slow her down.

Nebraska Elite gets on the board with Bartholet representing 15 Prime. Aggressiveness is a calling card of Barholet’s approach to the setter position. She’s not afraid to use some set-over attacks to keep scoring even when she’s rotated into the backcourt. The hitters around her shine, too, as Bartholet consistent deliveries are a catalyst for success.

Bartholet grabbed our attention early in the 2023 season with her leadership within the Nebraska Elite 15 Prime offense. This is a setter who remains an attacking threat even when she’s in the back row, as Bartholet has a killer set-over dump that has caught many opposing defenses off guard.

We now visit the Nebraska Elite gym for another setter that’s quickly surging up the leaderboard. Bartholet has shown a wide array of skills while competing with 15 Prime, including the aggressiveness to be an attacking threat in every rotation. 15 Prime has some serious depth at the setter position, and it’s only growing further with Bartholet having a standout qualifier run.
