Mikala Sampson Mikala Sampson 6'1" | MB Klein | 2023 State #109 Nation TX – Klein High School – Willowbrook Volleyball Club
Mikala Sampson Mikala Sampson 6'1" | MB Klein | 2023 State #109 Nation TX may be one of the most dynamic middles in the Houston area. She is an agile middle no doubt, but she can also crush a ball from either pin. She is one of the better blockers I have seen over the last year and seems to always find the ball. She hits a really fast A ball and also has a really good slide she likes to go too. Look for her to make a big impact in her senior year. Check out her highlight video here youtu.be/PqQ62H4NGPQ.
Madie Whitehead – Pearland High School – Houston Stellar
Madie Whitehead is a heavy hitting lefty playing for Houston Stellar this season. Sitting on her court for 5 minutes, you can see the intensity she plays with. Her arm swing is heavy and aggresive. She sees the block really well and is able crush the ball line or cross whichever is available. Her most recent highlight video is here hudl.com/v/2GnCis.
Piper Stephenson Piper Stephenson 6'3" | RS St. Agnes Academy | 2023 State TX – St. Agnes Academy – Houston Juniors
I have seen Piper Stephenson Piper Stephenson 6'3" | RS St. Agnes Academy | 2023 State TX several times this year, and every time I am seriously impressed with the tenacity she has. She is a high flyer. Standing at 6’2, she is very athletic and jumps out of the gym. Her blocking is very impressive and intimidating. This season she has been a part of a very good HJV squad full of talent, and she definitely stands out among the crowd. See her highlight video here hudl.com/v/2HNLQ0.
Ariana Goode Ariana Goode 6'0" | MB Klein Collins | 2023 TX – Klein Collins High School – TAV Houston
Next up is middle Ariana Goode Ariana Goode 6'0" | MB Klein Collins | 2023 TX who plays at TAV Houston. After watching her several times this year, her strong point is her blocking. She is very technical moving pin to pin and provides her team with consistant blocking. She tracks the opposing teams middle very well, and is able to recover to block the pin. She will sneak in some offense for her team hitting the gap in transition. Check out her most recent highlight video here hudl.com/v/2GkKY3.
Kristian Lewis – C. E. King High School – AVA
Kristian Lewis is an improved player on the radar this year. She has improved her offense, hitting a more consistant, strong middle attack. She has a lot of energy she brings to her team. Her elevation on the block is really good, and often times you will see her entire arm above the hight of the net on the block. One more thing to bring attention to is her great jump serve. She often times is in a serving rotation for her team and has racked up a lot of aces this year. See her most recent highlight video here hudl.com/v/2GqmjA.
