O'Gorman standout Bergen Reilly earns 3rd-straight Gatorade South Dakota Volleyball Player of the Year
O'Gorman standout Bergen Reilly was named the Gatorade South Dakota Volleyball Player of the Year for the third-straight year, Gatorade announced in a press release Friday.
A true setter, Reilly played outside hitter for the Knights, posing 440 kills, 338 digs, 60 aces and 26 blocks with a .307 hitting percentage in her senior season. She enrolled early at Nebraska and will participate in beach volleyball with her fellow-Huskers teammates this spring. She is a finalist for the Gatorade National Volleyball Player of the Year award, which will be announced later in January.

The honor is likely the final of her high school career in Sioux Falls, one where she made her case as perhaps the best volleyball player in South Dakota history. The three-time Argus Leader Super Six Player of the Year swept basically every major award since her sophomore high school season, won two state Class AA championships with the Knights and played on several different Team USA teams over the last couple of years.
In summer 2022, Reilly participated in the Pan Am Cup with the USA Volleyball U19 Women’s NationalTeam which won a gold medal, earning the tournament Most Valuable Player as well as the title of "Best Setter." Reilly is the No. 1 setter in the class of 2023 and the No. 4 prospect in her graduating class.
