Ottemann’s postseason heroics this fall will linger in our minds for a while. She had 17 kills during Johnson-Brock’s monumental victory over Oakland-Craig in the Class C2 quarterfinals. Fittingly, Ottemann’s tournament kill tally put her over 1,000 for her career. This seasoned attacker showed she could take over the match no matter where she was hitting along the net. Johnson-Brock may not be able to replace its multi-sport star, but Ottemann’s place in the Eagle record books will persist for a while.

Ottemann catalyzed one of this year’s most extraordinary tournament upsets. The Johnson-Brock senior put down 17 kills and five blocks as the Eagles won a physical five-set gauntlet against second-seeded Oakland-Craig. Ottemann, who finished with over 1,000 career kills, brought heat from the middle or the left side in a multi-faceted role with Johnson-Brock. It was the perfect combination for postseason mayhem.

Ottemann brings the kind of physicality that can overpower any defense. She saw a big uptick in attacking volume last year and is just starting her progression as an upperclassman role. Johnson-Brock will lean on that experience while pursuing a return to the tournament stage.

Johnson-Brock and talented middle blockers. It’s a familiar combination. Ottemann is the next in line at this history-rich program, and her work with Nebraska Juniors offers further testament to her high-end potential. If Ottemann returns to form this fall, Johnson-Brock will be a team to watch.

Just another strong, physical middle blocker from Johnson-Brock.
