SPRAWL QUALIFYING TOURNAMENT – September 21st – 22nd
The Milwaukee Sting Center will host 24 teams this weekend for another 2-day tournament. There are a LOT of teams in this tournament looking to make a statement and get an entry into the big Lynn LaPorte Sprawl. There are a few ranked teams that I would love to see square off, such as Waunakee, Sheboygan North, Waukesha West, and Xavier. One good match-up we are guaranteed comes between Cedarburg and Wisconsin Lutheran. While being ranked, Cedarburg may be operating a bit under the radar, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them take it all the way through this weekend. Cedarburg is led by Kiara Reinhardt Kiara Reinhardt 6'3" | MB Cedarburg | 2020 State WI (2020 – Committed to Creighton) who recorded a season high 7 blocks in their win over Slinger last week.

The Sprawl has 24 teams competing, and most are highly ranked by Prep Dig. Let’s take a look at a few dark horses.

In Pool E we have East Troy. and they will have their work cut out for them. They previously beat West Bend West at the Lancer Invite, but it took 3 sets. East Troy is led by Brianna Scuric (2019 – Committed to Northern Illinois), who recently matched a season high 18 kills and Mati Jakscht (2019 – 5’6 – Libero), who recorded a season high 25 digs in their 3-1 win over McFarland last week. Another key for the Trojans, Emily Wendt Emily Wendt S East Troy | 2020 State WI (2020 – 5’9 – Setter), matched a career high 6 aces on Tuesday in their 3-0 win over Edgerton. Also in Pool E is Kimberly, who went 3-2 at the Charger Rally last weekend but has had some big wins recently against Neenah and Oconomowoc.
