Continue ReadingHouston Juniors Volleyball is hosting their annual Pre Nationals tournament this weekend. It is slated to be a competitive turnout as they host all age groups over 2 days. The pools are already posted and from the looks of it, we should see some close competition. While most teams are from the Lone Star Region and Texas, there will be a few out-of-state teams as well. Below we will analyze some players to watch this weekend.
Devyn Lewis Devyn Lewis 6'1" | MB Manvel | 2023 State TX – AVA 17 Adidas
Devyn Lewis Devyn Lewis 6'1" | MB Manvel | 2023 State TX and AVA 17 Adidas will be at HJV this weekend participating in the Pre-Nationals tournament. They will attend GJNCs later this summer. Devyn has shown a lot of development this club season. She has been consistent on the outside and improved her serve receive game. Working as a 6 rotation outside, she has been afforded the opportunity to pass a lot of balls in serve receive and in defense. This has helped shape her into a well-rounded player. Check out her most recent highlight here.
Gabriella Reeves Gabriella Reeves 5'7" | S Antonian College Preparatory | 2024 State TX – Alamo 16 Premier
Gabriella plays for a fantastic Alamo team, and they are playing up in division this weekend. What I like about Gabby, is her ability to make her middle hitters successful. Her connection with her middle is amazing, and she is able to find her from all over the court. This gives her team an advantage and makes it hard to defend. Check out her most recent highlight video here, and you can see her and Alamo 16 Premier on court 5 on Saturday.
Emily Contreras – AJV 17 Adidas
Emily Contreras is arguably one of the best liberos on defense in the Austin area. If you haven’t had a chance to see her play, check her out on court 7 on Saturday. She will be dishing out some stellar defense against a really good pool of teams. Her reaction time on defense is what makes her so incredible to watch. Make sure to check out Emily’s most recent highlight video here and AJV 17 Adidas this weekend.
Brooklyn Spikes – TAV Houston 17 Adidas
Brooklyn Spikes is a 2024 middle, playing up in age division for TAV this year. She brings a huge block and is very disciplined to get pin to pin. She has been working on improving her offensive game, and has had two great setters feeding her the ball this year. She has seen a lot of growth as a player over this club season. Check out her most recent highlight here.
