South Central’s 15s success wasn’t solely engineered by its ball control gems. Hanzel anchored the operation in the middle and was among 15 Black’s most efficient in-system attackers. We’ve been impressed by Hanzel’s willingness to take various tempos in the middle and still find ways to score. She sees opposing hands well and has perfected her technique as a pin-to-pin blocker. Expect Hanzel and her group of rural Nebraska gems to make a little more noise in the Circle City.

Let’s work some rural gems into the discussion. Hanzel was an efficient scorer during her time in the Cedar Bluffs lineup, amassing triple-digit kills in just 48 total sets. The Wildcats found various ways to incorporate Hanzel in the attacking pattern, even if it meant running their middle blocker on the pin. As we pivot to the upcoming club season, Hanzel will take her talents to the next top 15s group at South Central NE. Look out for the Great Plains Region’s newest underdogs.
