During her stellar high school volleyball career at Grand Island Central Catholic, Katie Brand was certainly no stranger to high praise.

However, the 6-foot-1 Crusader senior was taken aback when told that GICC’s Sharon Zavala — the winningest coach in Nebraska high school volleyball history — considers Brand the best all-around player she has ever had.

HASTINGS - Michaela Mestl and Bailey Sokolowski had 12 kills apiece to lead No. 3 Kearney Catholic to a 25-19, 25-9, 25-16 win against unranked Norfolk Catholic on Thursday in the first round of the
Class C-1 state volleyball tournament at Hastings College.

Ironically, many of the 6-foot-1 Sokolowski's kills came on tips, and the 5-6 Mestl's were mostly from powerful swings. But Stars coach Kris Conner wasn't surprised.
