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…
Ashby Daniel Ashby Daniel 6'3" | MB Plano East | 2024 State TX [2024] 6-3 Middle (HS: Plano East/Club: Dallas Skyline/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Please welcome Ashby to the 2024 Prep Dig State Rankings. We have her listed as the 45th best overall prospect and also the 12th best middle in the 2024 class. Ashby plays for Plano East High School and also for the nationally recognized Dallas Skyline volleyball program. She has a very high ceiling and we think she can easily move up the rankings in future updates. What stands out to the causal observer is her size and power, but what stands out to most coaches with her play is her scoring efficiency. I see someone who has put in the time to work with her setter and perfect the timing of the thirty-one shoot set. This is one of the most difficult attacks to complete because of the amount of practice that it takes to perfect with her setter. She turns her head and reads the tempo of the pass perfectly so that she can hit the thirty-one set at a perfect “one” tempo, meaning extremely quick. Ashby also possesses long and very strong extremities, which will further help her blocking abilities. We really like the way she seals the net against some great opposing attackers. We are excited to have her in our state rankings and to watch her progress in the future. Please congratulate her on being named one of the best players in the State.
Avery Baughman Avery Baughman 5'5" | DS/L Plano | 2024 State TX [2024] 5-5 Libero (HS: Plano/Club: Madfrog/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Please help us welcome Avery officially to the list as the 50th best overall prospect in the 2024 class according to our Prep Dig State Rankings. Miss Baughman plays at Plano High School and also club for the nationally ranked Madfrog club program out of the North Texas region. We had multiple people remark on her abilities to us and urged us to give her a thorough look. We are very pleased that we received that information as this young lady can flat out ball. As a sophomore on varsity, she is already contributing to the success of her Plano squad as they are 13-6 on the year so far. Avery has tallied 28 digs on the early season to go along with 42 service receptions and has even added 2 aces. She is just getting started and we think she will continue to help them be successful in their district. The aspect that stands out to me the most is just how fundamentally sound she is with her footwork and posture throughout the entire play. It is this reason that leads me to believe that he will be very consistent for the future in the position. She is definitely one to watch for college coaches. Please congratulate her on earning a spot in the Prep Dig State Rankings and being named one of the state’s best volleyball players.
Amelia Creacy Amelia Creacy 6'1" | RS Bridgeland | 2024 State TX [2024] 6-0 Right Side (HS: Bridgeland/Club: TAV Houston/ Verbal: Uncommitted)
Please welcome Amelia to the 2024 Prep Dig State Rankings. We have her listed as the 52nd best prospect in the state. She plays on the pins for Bridgeland High School and also for a great TAV Houston club out of the Lone Star Region. This left-handed right side can bring the thunder when she swings. This is such a great weapon to have for any team that has a setter that can set against flow regularly. We love how she uses her arms to gain momentum throughout her approach as it allows her to get up higher and also swing even harder. She will be a huge asset to the any team that she plays for due to the fact that she can serve tough and also play defense in the back row after. The sky is the limit for this kid and she has every chance to continue to move up the rankings as we update them throughout the 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.
