2022 Additions to the State Rankings List Vol 2

<p>Come with us as we take a trip to the Houston area to explore a few players we haven’t written about yet on our State Rankings List.  These H-town athletes have waited long enough to enjoy some recognition for being such great volleyball players.  We couldn’t be happier to give them kudos for their hard work as we announce their placement on the Prep Dig State Rankings List. </p> <p><strong> </strong><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="87486" first="Sophia" last="Keene"] [2022] 6-1 Outside (HS: Concordia Lutheran/Club: Houston Skyline/Verbal: Baylor)</strong></p> <p>Please welcome the 20^thranked prospect [player_tooltip player_id="87486" first="Sophia" last="Keene"] to the Prep Dig State Rankings list. The Baylor commit will have no problems adapting to the college game.  She has been a true point scorer for the past couple of years.  She has been dominant on the left side of the court since she was a young player.  Gifted with extremely long arms, she skies over blockers and hits with ferocity. This kid has a cannon for an arm. She hits the ball with absolute power. She started with TAV Houston and now is with Houston Skyline and their dominant team.  We expect this young lady to soar up the rankings later on this year with more training.  She has a very high ceiling and will be one of the top hitters in the area once again in 2020-2021. </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="87504" first="Reaghan" last="Thompson"] [2022] 6-0 Middle (HS: Clear Creek/Club: Club South/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <p>We are very thrilled to introduce you to Reaghan Thomspon who is ranked as the 41^stbest high school prospect in the 2022 class in the State of Texas.  Miss Thompson is a middle who turns on a dime out of transition to blast away at opponents.  She powers through blockers at will on a 51 set.  Her timing is impeccable on a shoot set in the three position on the net.  She is one of the best point scorers I have seen out of the middle in a while.  She is able to hit both to zone five and across her body to zone one also.  She plays for a small club in the south side of Houston called Club South.  She has a great rapport with her setter at her Clear Creek high school team and they have no problems with their timing on any of the quick sets.  Reaghan can explode in the air at will to pound the ball out of the middle.  She is a force to be reckoned with in her district. We are looking forward to seeing her grow over the next two years on the court. </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="87512" first="Cassidy" last="Drapela"] [2022] 5-11 Middle (HS: Lamar Consolidated/Club: Houston Juniors/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="87512" first="Cassidy" last="Drapela"] is currently ranked as the 53^rdtop prospect in the State of Texas according to our latest rankings update.  She is blessed with an amazing hang time on her vertical approach.  It almost seems as if she is floating in the air when you watch her jump.  She is considered an athlete by college coaching standards seeing as she excels in multiple facets of the game of volleyball.  She is a hybrid player who can do quite a bit with the ball.  She is gifted with large and soft hands, which allow her to control the ball on emergency techniques in the back row. She can attack both in the front row on quick tempos and also in the back row on high tempos.  I haven’t seen a middle explode to the setter after transition the way she does in a long time.  She is lightning quick toward her setter and equally as explosive off of the ground.  Opposing blockers don’t stand a chance with her cannon for an arm either.  She is someone who I would take in a heartbeat on a college program.  I have no doubt that her stock will continue to rise when it comes to the State Rankings later on this year.  Stay tuned.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="99526" first="Chandler" last="Lee"] [2022] 5-11 Outside (HS: Katy Taylor/Club: Houston Skyline/ Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <p>Chandler comes in ranked as the 70^thranked player in the great state of Texas according to our rankings.  She plays for a great club program in the Houston area, Houston Skyline.  She mainly plays on the right pin, but can hit high tempo on the left as well.  She touches high and truly hits at the peak of her jump to sky over blockers.  What is great to watch about the way Miss Lee plays is her determination to do what it takes to keep the ball in play.  She can be seen flying out of the court into the stands to save a ball.  That in itself should be commended.  She plays with a great fire that all players should have.  She is a solid pin attacker who can score in a variety of ways.  Be on the lookout and welcome her to the Prep Dig rankings.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>There are many more
