A pair of Manhattan (6A) seniors reached impressive career milestones last night against Great Bend.

Senior Bailey Busch recorded her 1,000th career dig, adding another accomplishment to an already impressive career. Busch has been making an impact all over the court this season, averaging 5.2 kills and 3.8 digs per set.

Senior setter Keeli Tepe also reached a major milestone, surpassing 1,000 career assists in just her second season at the varsity level. Tepe has already dished out more than 200 assists this season alone as a key piece of the Manhattan offense.

Two big milestones for the Manhattan seniors as they continue their final season. Busch, Tepe and Manhattan will be back in action tonight against Shawnee Heights.

Lawrence Free State senior hitter Anniston Clark has been impressive across the board during a perfect start to the 2026 season.

The Firebirds are off to an 8-0 start and ranked #4 in 6A, with Clark making an impact in nearly every phase of the game. She leads the team with 4.2 kills per set, has recorded more than 15 blocks and also leads the team with 2.8 digs per set. Clark is a Division I commit who will continue her volleyball career at Lipscomb University next year, and she is showing early this fall why she is one of the top senior players to watch in Kansas.

Senior setter Tessa Nover-Estes has been a big part of the hot start as well, already recording more than 200 assists on the season. Two experienced seniors helping lead the way as Lawrence Free State remains unbeaten at 8-0. The Firebirds will face off with Shawnee Mission North tonight as they look to keep their momentum rolling.

Blue Valley senior quarterback Dan Sogard picked up right where he left off last fall with an impressive performance against BVNW through the air to open the season. Sogard completed 9-of-12 passes for 264 yards and FOUR touchdowns, finding three different receivers for scores while averaging nearly 30 yards per completion.

Sogard’s TD connections:
• Jordan Lockett - 2 TDs
• Jacob Lockett - 1 TD
• Ben Herold - 1 TD

Sogard is coming off a big junior season that earned him Sports in Kansas First Team Non-Senior honors last fall. Now a senior, he looks poised for another big year leading the Blue Valley offense under head coach Allen Terrell. Blue Valley now turns its attention to a BIG matchup with Olathe West this week.

Silver Lake junior Karys Deiter is already shining for the reigning Class 3A state champions as they continue their strong start to the 2026 season. The outside hitter leads Silver Lake in both kills and digs per set, averaging 3.7 kills and 4.0 digs. Despite being just a junior, Deiter has already racked up 492 career kills and 385 career digs.

Deiter established herself as one of the state's top all-around players last season, helping Silver Lake put together a remarkable 46-1 record on the way to capturing the Class 3A state championship. Silver Lake has picked up right where it left off with a 9-0 start.

Deiter is also a standout multi-sport athlete. She has earned Sports in Kansas All-State recognition in basketball and has qualified for state in multiple events in track and field.

Silver Lake will get a big test tonight with matches against Seaman, Manhattan and Shawnee Heights. Deiter is a name to watch as the defending champs look to keep rolling in 2026.
