2022 Additions to the State Rankings List Vol 4

<p>Now we venture off to the Central Texas area to explore a few players we haven’t written about yet on our State Rankings List.  These Austin and San Antonio 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></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="87526" first="Brooke" last="Jeffrey"] [2022] 6-0 Outside (HS: Lake Travis/Club: Roots/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <p>Please welcome the 72^ndranked prospect [player_tooltip player_id="87526" first="Brooke" last="Jeffrey"] to the Prep Dig State Rankings list. The six rotation outside hitter has such a great frame and is built for the next level.  She has a very strong upper body that is evident in the way she plays.  Brooke can play all three positions along the net and her Roots team definitely utilizes her in them all throughout the season.  Her biggest asset is her power.  She an unload on the ball with the best of them.  As a true six rotation player, Brooke has  such a great strong platform when passing serve.  She holds her platform well after contact to create a great angle on the ball.  Offensively, Brooke is gifted with the ability to swing both line and angle with great power.  She is a great point scorer for her team no matter which position she is playing.  We are excited to watch her grow this coming season and think she has a very high ceiling to improve. </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="99521" first="Katelyn" last="Krienke"] [2022] 6-0 Middle (HS: Vista Ridge/Club: Austin Juniors/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <p>We are very thrilled to introduce you to [player_tooltip player_id="99521" first="Katelyn" last="Krienke"] who is ranked as the 80^thbest high school prospect in the 2022 class in the State of Texas.  Miss Krienke is a very talented and long player who can play both on the pins and in the middle.  Her primary role on her club team is middle but they have been known to throw her on the right side also to shut down opposing hitters.  She is a true defensive stopper.  Her long arms and great timing make her a very formidable blocker.  She presses very well to seal the net and watches her opponents well to time the block. I really like the patience she shows while timing her opponents approach.  It is very nice to see as a coach.  She is a member of the vaunted ten foot club meaning she can approach touch ten feet high.  What a lot of coaches will like when they see her play is her quick footwork out of the middle.  All middles should transition extremely fast off of the net in order to be ready to hit the quick set and Katelyn has it.  She runs every tempo out of the middle that you would want her to and she scores well.  Take a look at this kid as she deserves a shot.   </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="99531" first="Isabella" last="Perez"] [2022] 5-4 Libero (HS: Brandeis/Club: SA Force/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="99531" first="Isabella" last="Perez"] comes in ranked as the 90^thranked player in the great state of Texas according to our rankings.  She plays for a great club program in the San Antonio area called Force.  She has a solid platform when passing serve which allows her ball to be extremely consistent.  I love the way she holds her arms well outside her body to allow maximum cushioning for hard driven balls.  What stands out the most in her serve receive is the way she controls her teammates with great communication prior to serve.  She does such a great job at directing which areas of responsibility each player will take before the ball comes.  I also truly like her stance.  Her base is strong and well balanced while moving to the ball and also at contact. She has been coached very well and its nice to see how coachable she has been to be so consistent.  We are excited to watch her grow throughout this year in school and club. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>There are many more amazing 2022 players that we have added to the State Rankings.  Stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes. If you have anyone you think we should watch out for, please shoot me an email with some info at nov8vb@yahoo.com.  Also don’t forget to help these kids get more exposure by sharing our stories with your friends.  Help us help them by simply retweeting on Twitter or sharing on Facebook.  Thanks for following Texas Family!</p>
