We now have the top 80 players in the state ranked in the 2024 grad class. We are extremely excited to welcome these ladies to such a prestigious group. We are going to introduce you to some amazing players with their much deserved overall State Ranking attached to their name. Congratulate them on social media or in person the next time you see them. Welcome to the list ladies…
Macy McPartland Macy McPartland 5'5" | DS/L Rosehill Christian | 2024 State TX [2024] 5-5 Libero (HS: Bridgeland/Club: Houston Skyline/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Please welcome Macy to the 2024 Prep Dig State Rankings. We have her listed as the 19th best overall prospect and also the 2nd best libero in the 2024 class. Macy plays for Bridgeland High School and also for the highly touted Houston Skyline Volleyball club out of the Houston area. She is a very talented libero who is dominating with her club team this season. There are those defensive specialist/liberos who excel at serve receive and those that excel at digging. Macy is a special one that can do it all. What stands out immediately to the casual observer is her relentless pursuit of the ball. You see it in other sports like football when you have a linebacker or defensive lineman who just always seems to have a “nose for the ball” meaning they are always around the tackle to end the play. Miss McPartland is the same way as she is always around the ball whether in serve receive, defense, or hitter coverage. This showcases her great court vision and amazing footwork that work perfectly together to put her in a great position to play the game that we all played when we were little…”don’t let the balloon touch the floor”. She routinely comes out of nowhere to use an emergency technique to keep the ball in play and give her team a much needed boost to stay in the rally. She is so much fun to watch. We think coaches should keep an eye on this one as we think she is special and definitely has a future in the sport. We want to welcome her with open arms to our State Ranking List and can’t wait to watch her progress in the future.
Lillian Croshaw Lillian Croshaw 6'3" | RS Northwest | 2024 State #164 Nation TX [2024] 6-2 Middle/Right Side (HS: Byron Nelson/Club: Madfrog/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Please help us welcome Lilly officially to the list as the 24th best overall prospect in the 2024 class according to our Prep Dig State Rankings. Miss Croshaw plays at Byron Nelson HS and also club for the always awesome Madfrog Volleyball program out of the North Texas Region. She is a multi-sport athlete who loves to sing and play basketball also. Her and her Madfrog teammates have one of the best teams in the nation this year and have been on a tear so far going 50-5 so far against some of the best talent across the nation. Miss Croshaw has some serious power in that bazooka she calls an arm. What is super impressive is her unique ability to change tempos and hit both quick sets and high outside pin sets. She is capable of running every route possible in the middle route tree at an early age. She drives hard with her footwork toward the setter for quicks and then swings even harder to put the ball away. Her length is showcased during her blocking and seems to slow the opponent down if not completely stop them often. We are extremely excited to cover her and think she has such a high ceiling to improve and move up the rankings in the future. Please congratulate her on earning a spot in the Prep Dig State Rankings.
Catherine Young Catherine Young 5'11" | OH Flower Mound | 2024 State #172 Nation TX [2024] 5-11 Outside (HS: Flower Mound/Club: Excel/ Verbal: Uncommitted)
Please welcome Catherine to the 2024 Prep Dig State Rankings. We have her listed as the 25th best prospect in the state. She is a talented pin hitter from Flower Mound High School and from the Excel Volleyball club out of the North Texas Region. She has already made an impact by making varsity as a freshman on an extremely talented Flower Mound varsity team this past season. This young lady is destined for greatness on the vball court. What stands out the most to everyone who watches is her beautiful swooping approach that she takes. She has great bounce from her lower body that seems to float her body into the air so gracefully. As she takes flight, she loads up her arms and unleashes bombs toward her opponents. Don’t’ sleep on her defense just because she is a talented scorer, as this young phenom is the real deal when it comes to six rotation players. Her overall ball control and defensive range will keep her starting on any team she plays for. We at Prep Dig believe this kid will continue to move up the rankings and be a force in the volleyball work for the foreseeable future. College coaches should take note of her name now. We are extremely excited to have her in the Prep Dig Family and look forward to covering her career. Please help us congratulate her on achieving the prestigious state ranking.
