Mavric Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Quote At first Emma Gabel was a little surprised that a college volleyball program like Nebraska would be recruiting her to come play for them, but it’s not a complete shock to her. “My coaches at VCN (Volleyball Club of Nebraska based in Lincoln) have always told me if I worked hard, then my dreams will come true, so I definitely think I’ve worked hard enough to earn a spot to play for the Huskers,” Gabel said by phone late Tuesday. The lifelong Lincoln resident and Pius X junior made her college choice on Tuesday to play volleyball for Nebraska. “I decided tonight that I want to play at Nebraska, and I think it will be a great experience for me,” Gabel said. The 5-foot-7 defensive specialist will begin her college career as a walk-on, just like most defensive specialists, but could earn a scholarship later in her college career. She’ll have the chance to follow another Pius X graduate, Sydney Townsend, who played a big role for the Huskers as a senior. LJS Quote Link to comment

Now she's going to be a Husker. Bekka has some great siblings. Real tribute to her upbringing. Quote Link to comment

Stumpy1 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Kenzie Knuckles won the National Player of the Year. I bet she pushes for playing time next year at Libero. 3 Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 But wait, there's more. Gatorade picks a Player of the Year for each state, not just the above-mentioned top-tier group. Along with Kenzie Knuckles & Madi Kubik, we have another who was the best player in her state. Quote Gatorade Announces Volleyball State Players Of The Year Gatorade has released its list of state girls volleyball players of the year for 2018. Of the 51 honorees (one each from the 50 states and Washington D.C.), 32 are seniors, with all but five of those 32 seniors having committed to continue their volleyball careers in college. Sixteen of the athletes honored are juniors and just three are sophomores. According to Gatorade, the player of the year award “recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field.” Among the group honored for their achievements during the 2018 high school volleyball season are seven AVCA First Team High School Under Armour All-Americans. Ohio State and Nebraska tied for the most recruits making this year’s list, with three 2018 honorees heading to each school.
