PIN HITTERS
Josie Jakubowski, 2021, St. Paul Vs Hannah Kepler, 2021, Malcolm
We start the pin hitters with two very similar players. Each plays all the way around for their team and proves to be the go-to player when in need.
Josie Jakubowski, 2021 – Third place at state in 2018 and one win shy of a state championship in 2019, St. Paul will be looking to finish 2020 with a win. This 5’8 junior with 262 kills, 175 digs, and 46 aces will lead the Wildcats into the 2020 season.
Hannah Kepler, MilfordHannah Kepler, 2021 – Just watching the 6’0 juniors footwork is amazing! Kepler hit 563 kills at a .277 clip. Her high risk, high reward serve produced 42 aces. Her passing isn’t too bad either – 374 digs, 427 serve receptions. Still uncommitted – coaches take a look! HUDL HIGHLIGHTS
