Austin Kingsley | Prep Dig Scout
Let’s stay in the Elkhorn South stable. The Storm will look a lot different in 2026, giving opportunities for players like Sumner to shuffle the Class of 2028 hierachy. This savvy setter has kickstarted her development while leading VCNebraska 16 Blue to some head-turning results this spring. The team earned a runner-up finish at last month’s Nebraska Showdown and was similarly proficient at the Mizuno Midwest Challenge. Consistent play is often funneled through the setter spot, and this is where Sumner’s influence is felt. Her up-tempo command reflects the style we’d expect from a VCNebraska signal-caller.

VCNebraska 15 Elite’s tremendous setter depth has allowed the team to climb the divisional ladder throughout 2025. Sumner is a dynamic athlete who can adapt to whichever system 15 Elite deploys. Her quick foot speed and exceptional tempo are ideal fits for what we’d expect from a VCNebraska offense. 15 Elite’s trek from a 15 USA contender to an Open-level team has placed players like Sumner into the spotlight.

Sumner finds any way possible to influence VCN 15 Elite’s balanced operation. She has a knack for finding the hot hand and can deliver up-tempo sets to either pin. This Elkhorn South freshman was also an impactful server during Triple Crown NIT and gave opposing passers trouble with her tough floaters. No matter which system 15 Elite deploys in a given match, Sumner will remain a steady contributor and valuable on-court leader.

We always have to look out for the next setters in the VCNebraska pipeline. Sumner will represent 15 Elite this year and could carry on a rich tradition of setter talent at VCN. We might also see Sumner take the reins at Elkhorn South fairly soon, and the Storm haven’t been afraid to use underclassman setters before. Sumner and her squad will build off a Class A runner-up finish and could make further strides in 2025.
