Unless you are past Sept 1 of your junior year, they CAN’T email you back. But calling is definitely the best route. Say in your email that you’ll be calling and then make the call. Followup the call with another email. As for sending follow-up emails, tie them to specific updates - “Just completed xyz tourney and my team placed 2nd”, “I’ll be playing in xyz tourney, hope you can come watch me play”, “here’s some nice press I got in the local press” “just created a new highlight video on youtube, here’s the link”. Don’t be afraid to update academic stuff - “just took the act and got a perfect score”. But you have to make the phone calls or you will get lost in their inbox!
