Checking in with our 2020 Nebraska Prep Dig Team Series Winner – C1 Columbus Lakeview – looks to greatness in the upcoming season. With a 22-11 record in 2019 and losing to eventual state runner-up St. Paul in districts, the 2020 team aims high!
Coach K.C. Belitz sums it up best, “We expect to play as a team, to play harder than our opponents, and to hold each other to a high standard. Returning eight letter-winners, including a 3-year starter at setter, certainly, we expect to play well. If we can pass and dig well enough, we should be able to run a quick and balanced offense with Reese at the controls.
C-1 will be the deepest class in the state so we understand the challenge of making it to the state tournament, but that is the goal for the season the players have set after coming up .1 point short of the final wild card last year.”

Lilly comments on getting comfortable on the right side., “At first I thought high school volleyball was going to be super scary and hard. The senior and junior class of my freshman year soon taught me I had nothing to fear. They were so nice and really helpful in showing me the ropes. I have narrowed my positions down from setter/right side to now just right side throughout these last years.
