<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Nebraska girls state tournament concluded last week. Here are five big performances over the the tournament that caught our eye and some players we will be watching this spring and summer. All are currently ranked in the top-10 in the class and should stay there when we update our 2028 rankings before the end of the month.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["882863"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69b34c0657d04"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We believe Dolliver -- the sister to Omaha commit [player_tooltip player_id='757558' first='Halle' last='Dolliver'] -- is a high major prospect, which may play out this spring and summer. In Lincoln, she was fantastic over three game as the Clippers advanced to the state championship game. Dolliver scored 69 points and grabbed 20 rebounds in tournament with a 30-point, 8-rebound effort in the semifinals against Fort Calhoun. She had season averages of 19.8 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["884235"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69b34c0657d73"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rautenberg was a walking double-double all season for the Eagles and it was no different in the state tournament as Milford capped a perfect season in the Class C-1 state championship game. She posted a 16-point, 13-rebound effort in the state championship game while scored 37 points and grabbing 51 rebounds in the tournament. Also had 11 blocks in three games. One of the top volleyball players nationally in the Class of 2028, we'll keep banging the basketball drum for Rautenberg who is a sure fire Division I player in both sports. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["882860"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69b34c0657de0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Whitney had a big season for Millard West as they advanced to the Class A state semifinals and her stock continues to go up. In two games in Lincoln she scored 18 points and grabbed 17 rebounds for coach Marc Kruger's team. Whitney is a physical player with a high motor, which will translate well to the next level. She had season averages of 7.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.4 blocks for the Wildcats. A big spring and summer could be ahead for Whitney. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["882865"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1804741,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69b34c0657e46"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Metoyer is a top-shelf point guard who can really score the basketball and get downhill going to the basket. Omaha North missed her in the state finals after a second quarter injury really hampered the Vikings offense. She scored 49 points in the tournament, including a 21-point effort against Kearney in the semifinals. For the season, Metoyer averaged 11.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.7 assists. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1044997"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69b34c0657e8b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It sometimes seems a disservice to Crabtree that she plays with Rautenberg and 2027 [player_tooltip player_id='1237574' first='Ashlynn' last='Miller'] because she can go stretches of games with the Eagles dominating the point. But, her state tournament effort lifted Milford to the title. She scored 43 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and dished out 16 assists over three games, highlighted by a 22-point, five assist effort against Gothenburg in the state semifinals. She also added 14 points, five rebounds and five assists in the state championship game. When you see Crabtree this summer her recruiting attention may really take off. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
