Paige Crawford Paige Crawford 6'1" | OH Wimberley | 2022 State TX [2022] 5-11 Outside (HS: Wimberley/Club: San Antonio Juniors /Verbal: Wake Forest)
Please welcome Paige to the State Rankings. We have her listed as the 79th best overall prospect in the 2022 class. We recently profiled her as we previewed her awesome varsity squad at Wimberley High School. Here is a little refresher of what we stated in that article, “She was a huge reason for their 30-5 overall record along with the undefeated 8-0 district record as she was named the MVP of district 28-4A as a junior. She is their All-Everything player and she looks unstoppable so far early this season. We know she is hungry coming off of the berth in the state finals last year. She will play club for San Antonio Juniors and their awesome staff. Miss Crawford has great length and can bring the heat with the best of them in her grad class across the state. The young lady is already verbally committed to playing volleyball at Wake Forest next year and is ready for a hero’s send off for her senior season.” She has been riding a wave of accolades and accomplishments over the last year as she was named to the TGCA All Star game, AVCA All America Watch List and recently made all tournament team at the Texas Fest volleyball tourney. This young lady has recently surpassed the 1,000 kill mark and is not slowing down anytime soon. She has her Wimberley team running through the competition as they are once again one of the top teams in the state of Texas this season. So far they are 19-7 and she is a huge reason why they have a legit shot at a solid run toward the State Title. Please congratulate her on being named one of the top players in the Lone Star State.
Paige Mooney Paige Mooney 5'8" | DS/L Eaton | 2022 State #131 Nation TX [2022] 5-9 Outside (HS: Eaton/Club: Texas Image/ Verbal: Texas Tech)
Paige is currently ranked as the 81st overall prospect in the 2022 class according to our State Rankings. She is a solid six-rotation pin hitter who also plays club at Texas Image out of the North Texas Region. We profiled her recently when we previewed her Eaton high school varsity squad. Here is a little of what we wrote about her in that article, “Last year Paige contributed all over the court for the Eagles as she tallied 182 kills on a .191 hitting percentage. She also had 13 blocks, 291 digs, and added 13 aces to help their run through the 2020-2021 season. The Texas Tech commit is smooth on the court and can do it all on the indoor court and also in the sand. She is one of the few vballers who can easily transition from one sport to the other and not skip a beat. This shows her all around volleyball skill-set. Although not prototypical outside hitter height, she can still time extremely well and hit with power to score. Her ball control in every aspect of the game is why she is able to help Eaton dominate. We are looking forward to covering her during her senior season.” We have seen Eaton rise to one of the best teams in the entire state of Texas and Paige is one of the reasons why. She has been steady in every aspect of the game for them and it has helped Eaton to a 24-2 overall record as they enter district play.
Gabby Walker Gabby Walker 5'10" | RS Flower Mound | 2022 State TX [2022] 5-11 Outside (HS: Flower Mound/Club: 692 Beach/Verbal: USC {Beach})
We are proud to welcome Gabby to the prestigious State Rankings. She is currently listed as the 89th best overall prospect in the 2022 class. She is a stud dual sport athlete as she shines both in indoor and outdoor volleyball. This sun-loving baller has excellent skills in every aspect of the sport. She is committed to playing beach volleyball for the University of Southern California. The future woman of Troy has been phenomenal in the sand circuit over the last several years as she has won a national championship in 2019 with fellow teammate Maggie Boyd Maggie Boyd 5'10" | OH Marcus | 2022 State TX . This year she was just named to the AVCA Phenom Watch List. So far she has helped powerhouse Flower Mound to a 27-3 overall record and a 4-0 district record on the young season. Her senior season has been filled with a serious role as a point scorer. She has risen to the challenge so far as she is on pace to more than double her kill total from her junior season. We are very happy to have her in the state rankings and look forward to covering the rest of her senior season. Please help us congratulate her on being named one of the best players in the state of Texas.
