Continue ReadingWe began our 2024 rankings in December with only the top 53 players in the state ranked on our list. We have gotten some awesome leads from parents, players, coaches, and club directors for more players we should be watching. After months and months of analyzing game film, seeing athletes in person and looking at club tournament finishes and the past high school season, we were able to add 16 more players to the prestigious list. We now have the top 96 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…
Ayden Ames Ayden Ames 6'4" | MB Prosper | 2024 State #3 Nation TX [2024] 6-2 Middle (HS: Prosper/Club: Texas Advantage /Verbal: Uncommitted)
Please welcome Ayden to the 2024 Prep Dig State Rankings. We have her listed as the 15th best overall prospect and also the 5th best middle in the 2024 class. Ayden plays for Prosper High School and also for the nationally recognized Texas Advantage Volleyball program. This young lady is a transfer from Cali as she played for the awesome Mizuno Long Beach club program and is no stranger to competing at the highest level in the sport. She went to a Prosper high school program that is used to being a staple in the UIL State Playoff picture. They graduated some big seniors but with Miss Ames falling in their lap, they are in good hands for a while. She is talented super stud who has people turning their heads already. California’s loss is definitely our gain here in Texas. She was selected to USA’s Indoor High Performance A1 training program as a rising freshman. She is the real deal and has what it takes to move up the rankings as long as she stays in the state. We want to welcome her with open arms to our State Ranking List and can’t wait to watch her progress in the future. Please congratulate her on being named one of the best players in the State.
Katy Barger Katy Barger 6'0" | OH Baytown Sterling | 2024 State TX [2024] 6-1 Outside (HS: Baytown Sterling/Club: Xcel/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Please help us welcome Katy officially to the list as the 34th best overall prospect in the 2024 class according to our Prep Dig State Rankings. Miss Barger plays at Baytown Sterling HS and also club for an up an coming club called Xcel Volleyball program out of their Mont Belvieu location. She has great size and strength for a freshman pin attacker and shows so much potential to grow in the position. She has already made her mark early on for her high school as she already has tallied 118kills, 19 blocks, 91 digs, and 40 aces. She has proved herself on the court time and time again, but what we love is her potential for the future. When we watch her play, we see someone who will become a fantastic scorer for a college program with continued great training. 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.
McKenna Brand McKenna Brand 5'6" | DS/L Lovejoy | 2024 State TX [2024] 5-6 Libero (HS: Lovejoy/Club: Dallas Skyline/ Verbal: Uncommitted)
Please welcome McKenna to the 2024 Prep Dig State Rankings. We have her listed as the 43rd best prospect in the state. She is a talented back row defender from Lovejoy High School and from the great Dallas Skyline Volleyball club out of the North Texas Region. Her nickname should be “Bring It” because she is never scared of any attack. She has led the Dallas Skyline 15’s-18’s program this past year in digs as she accumulated 619 on the club season. She has an uncanny ability to be in the right position time and time again. There is no one this lucky that many times and when we watch her the answer can be found in both her footwork and more importantly in her eyes. She has some of the best instincts that we have seen in a while in the libero position. When you marry her VB IQ with her soft touch on the ball, you get one phenom libero. She can make some serious moves up the rankings with what we see now. Lovejoy is coming off of back-to-back UIL State Titles and having someone like Miss Brand ensures that they will stay in the running for the next four years. 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.
