So many really highly respected athletes all in one place…it was impressive. I have missed the sounds of a full gym this year during our times we were not allowed to play and I am thankful we all had an opportunity to evaluate and enjoy our time in the gym today. I really want to thank the athletes who performed at this event. I was very impressed with all of you and very happy to watch you do the sport you love. Let’s talk about the hitters I saw on court four this morning.
4 – Kendall Anderson Kendall Anderson 5'7" | OH Bondurant-Farrar | 2022 State IA (2022, OH, Bondurant-Farrar)
Kendall is a 5’7″ OH from Bondurant-Farrar who had 3.5 KPS, 25 total blocks, 3.5 DPS, and 30 aces with a 95.3% serve efficiency. My notes say that Kendall has really great court awareness, is very athletic and fast, and not afraid to play the corners. She is a really strong player and as good in the front as she is in the back rows.
24 – Gabriella Caskey (2022, OH, Ogallala)
Gabriella is a 5’11″ OH from Ogallala who had 2.5 KPS, 45 total blocks, 1.6 DPS, and 6 aces with a 91.3% serve efficiency. She has a great platform in serve/receive, great ball control, and is really athletic. She has great speed as well.
102 – Katelyn Shaw (2022, OH, Hastings High School)
Katelyn is a 5’8″ OH from Hastings High School who had 2.3 KPS, 3 total blocks, 1.9 DPS, and 58 aces with an 81.4% serve efficiency. She is athletic, gets great digs, great platform, hits from the front or the back row smart and effective. I was impressed with her reaction time, her vision, and her court awareness.
61 – Piper Kirchoff Piper Kirchoff 5'9" | RS Dowling | 2022 State IA (2022, OH/RS, Dowling Catholic)
Piper is a 5’10″ OH from Dowling Catholic who had 1.5 KPS, 5 total blocks, and .2 DPS. Piper plays right side for her high school but is an effective OH as well. She has great ball control, a great platform for serve/receive, and great court awareness. She is a high IQ player with multiple skills that make her effective anywhere on the court.
117 – Delainey Winkel (2022, 2023, OH, Ankeny Centennial High School)
Delainey is a 5’9″ OH from Ankeny Centennial High School who had 1.6 KPS, 15 total blocks, .3 DPS, and 5 aces with a 90.4% serve efficiency. Delainey has great court awareness and places the ball well when hitting. She is athletic and strong. She transitions well and digs with skill. Great player to have on your team and she is only a sophomore!
69 – Brianna Lemke Brianna Lemke 6'0" | MB Mead | 2022 State NE (2022, OH, Mead)
Brianna is a 6’ OH from Mead who had 3.5 KPS, 17 total blocks, 2.9 DPS, and 55 aces with an 85.2% serve efficiency. Brianna is long and athletic, has lethally smart placement of the ball, is really smart, and is really anticipatory of where to be when playing defense. Great player to look at for the next level.
