Many volleyball players dream of reaching the one thousand kills but few actually get there and even fewer are the first in their schools history to do it. A lawtonbronson senior can check both those accomplishme nts off her list. Ktivs mark freund has more in the sports fource morning wrap. Shes got a great snap and follow through on her swing, said pottebaum. Ali verzanis mechanics make her one of siouxlands most feared hitters. But it wasnt always that way. My freshman year i was a setter, said verzani. My sophomore year i was in the middle, the right side. Now im on the outside, so weve gone through a lot of different changes to get where we are now. I wanted to make sure we were getting her more sets because i knew wed have some good productivity out of her on the outside, said pottebaum. That tweak was all she needed. Verzani had 323 kills her first two years of varsity volleyball. Last year, she had 374. This season, already 307. And last thursday against rival Woodbury Central, verzani became the first Lawton Bronson volleyball player to record one thousand career kills. He called a timeout and it was announced and everyone was clapping, even on the Woodbury Central side, so it was really cool, said verzani. It was extremely gratifying to see her get that accomplishme nt. Shes worked hard. Shes very coachable. Shes put in the time, said pottebaum. Its really cool to think that ill be remembered and the little kids who know me now, when they get older, theyll want to beat that record, said verzani. Lawtonbronson is 272 and ranked 14th in class 2a. The only thing missing is a state tournament trip. Our schools never made it to state in volleyball, so it would be a first for us, said verzani. Weve got a tough road, but i believe we can do it. We have to serve tough, we just have to pass. If we can pass, we have the hitters to put it down. And she may be the leader but it takes a village. All my success comes from the passes, the sets, and its all a teamwork thing, and i hope that these juniors that im blessed to play with get this opportunity next year. Said verzani. Verzani currently sits at 1,004 career kills. This basketball season, shell look to become the firstever 1,000 point scorer in Lawton Bronsons history.
