Alleigh Kramer

For the past three seasons the Nemaha Central volleyball team has ended the year at the place each team dreams about at the beginning of the season, the state tournament.

This week the Thunder get to go back to place they can begin to call home after capturing a fourth consecutive sub-state championship Saturday at their home sub-state.

A big reason to the success of the Thunder this season has been the play of senior Alleigh Kramer who currently leads Nemaha Central in kills with 232.

Kramer has posted 22 blocks on the season as well as 142 digs to lead the Thunder to a 27-14 overall record and an 8-6 record in what was a stacked Big 7 League this season which featured three state ranked teams.

Kramer is a three-sport athlete and last season was named an all-state basketball player in leading the Thunder to a 3A State Tournament berth while she also captured a state title in the 200-meter dash at state track.

She will look to continue to lead Nemaha Central to new heights Friday at the state tournament in Hutchinson as the Thunder will have three pool play matches with each match to be broadcast live on 92.1 KMZA.
