We are very proud of each player and everyone who helped them reach their goals this year. These players are being picked due to their individual performance on their teams this high school season. This next article in this series is devoted to the Liberos. These two young ladies are our picks for 1st Team All- State.
1st Team All State Selection: Libero
Jenna McMichael [2023] 5-5 Libero (HS: Midlothian/Club: Dallas Skyline/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Jenna is currently an unranked prospect in our 2023 Prep Dig State Rankings, but we definitely have our eye on her with what she did this year. She plays at Midlothian High School and also for the famed Dallas Skyline club. We profiled her when she was nominated for the All-State award a couple of months ago and here is what we stated, “Miss McMichael has a super strong base that keeps her steady both in serve receive and while setting up to dig. You can tell just how good she has been trained by the way she holds her platform out before contact and after. But what goes unnoticed by the casual observer is the elite level at which she reads the ball out of the servers contact to be in such a great position to pass the rock. She helped Midlothian to a 37-8 overall record and a 12-0 district record. She has tallied 854 digs, which is the most in the state of Texas amongst junior liberos. She also has 645 service receptions and 56 aces on the year.” It doesn’t matter how big your school is, volleyball is all relative. Jenna proved that she could play at any level with the best. She led the entire state in digs this year and it is that reason why she has earned our nod for 1st Team All-State. Please help us in congratulating her on the special achievement. We will for sure be adding her into the rankings when we updated them in a few weeks.

Lola Fernandez [2023] 5-7 Libero (HS: RR Westwood/Club: Austin Juniors/ Verbal: Uncommitted)
Lola is currently an unranked prospect in the state in the 2023 class according to our Prep Dig State Rankings, but we have had our eye on her and she should be listed soon once we update the rankings. She plays at Round Rock Westwood High School and Austin Juniors. We profiled her earlier when we nominated her for the award and here is what we wrote, “She has a phenomenal base that she plays the position with and has such a soft touch on both digs and serve receive passes. Austin Juniors does a phenomenal job with their players and she is just one more example of that pedigree. Lola has been stellar this high school season as she has tallied 756 digs, 744 service receptions, and 80 aces. Her dig count is good enough for 2ndmost in the entire state amongst juniors. We are extremely proud of her and how she has proven herself on the court amongst her peers.“We will for sure be adding her into the rankings when we updated them in a few weeks. She was so productive in the back row this year and it is this reason why we have chosen her for 1st Team All-State. We are proud of her accomplishment and look forward to covering her for the future. Please help us congratulate her on the achievement.
