Isabella Bratzke Isabella Bratzke 5'8" | OH Indian Trail | 2021 State WI – Milwaukee Sting 17 Black – Indian Trail
Bella Bratzke (47) with Sting TeammatesHer 2019 accolades speak for themself…2019 All-State Honorable Mention, SEC Defensive Player of the Year, 1st Team All-Conference, and ACVA Phenom List. Bella is a straight-up baller. I know, for many, that label may not be very descriptive. She has a certain court presence about her that you can not help but be drawn to. Bella is quick to transition from any defensive position to keep herself available in Sting Black’s offense. While big swings and impressive digs are expected each time she is on the court, her footwork is something coaches at the college level will love. This natural leader is on the radar of many programs and will surely remove herself from the uncommitted column before long.
Natalie Compe – Capital Volleyball Academy 17 Adidas – De Forest
Ashley Kopp – Milwaukee Juniors 17-Elite
Grace Hanel – Milwaukee Juniors 17-Elite – Oak Creek
Grace Hanel (7)Grace first caught my eye during the high school as her Oak Creek team played at the Milwaukee Sting Center. Area baseball fans will understand why her name looked familiar, but her on-court performance quickly turned made me forget about America’s Pasttime. Grace has a heavy hand with the ability to play at either pin. Her Milwaukee Juniors team finished 3rd in St. Louis in the Nike President’s Day Classic and a 2nd place finish in the Rockin’ Rockford AAU Grand Prix. I would look for Grace to continue to lead this team offensively and carry into what should be a successful senior year at Oak Creek.

[player_tooltip player_id="80726" first="Sammie" last="Seib"]Sammie Seib Sammie Seib 5'7" | OH Catholic Central | 2021 State WI – Wisconsin Juniors 17-1
Sammie ended the 2019 high school season performing at the highest level breaking the Wisconsin Division 4 State Tournament Kill record (34) in a three-set match. Her Catholic Central squad finished 2nd in the State after hoisting the Gold Ball in 2018. She has continued the on-court dominance into the 2020 club season with her Wisconsin Junior 17-1 team. At 5’8″ she is considered undersized but plays beyond her height with true grit and effort. She is smooth in transition as she always finds a way to keep herself involved in the offense.
