2025 State Ranking New Additions Vol 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have been watching the 2025 class very closely throughout the entire club season and used the data of wins and losses, stats, awards, in person tournaments, matches and of course the amazing footage that has been uploaded to everyone's recruiting profiles. We have been talking to a lot of coaches across the country and this class is littered with college prospects.&nbsp; The following players showed us all that they deserved to be added to our prestigious State Rankings through their play on the court.&nbsp; Please welcome them with open arms.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212731' first='Mackenzie' last='Collins'] [2025] 6-1 Middle (HS: Shadow Creek/Club: [program_tooltip program_id='431166' first='Houston' last='Juniors']/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":211180,"width":198,"height":325,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2022/07/Mackenzie-Collins-scaled-e1658535602173-624x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-211180" width="198" height="325"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mackenzie is currently listed as the 44^th best overall prospect in the state according to the 2025 Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.&nbsp; She plays for Shadow Creek High School and plays club for [program_tooltip program_id='431166' first='Houston' last='Juniors'].&nbsp; I wrote an article recently on Miss Collins and here is a little from it, <em>“In a squad full of stars, this young lady truly stands out due to her form and technique.&nbsp; I have had the privilege of watching her play multiple times this season and each time I am in awe of just how polished she is as a blocker.&nbsp; She is a multi sport athlete who excels in everything that she does.&nbsp; She bounces off of the ground so fast that her feet barely touch the sport court.&nbsp; When she gets on top of the ball there better be a blocker in front of her, because if there isn't, it is a guaranteed kill inside the three meter line.”</em>&nbsp; She has definitely earned the right to be on this list with her production on the court all season long.&nbsp; After watching her over the course of the season and comparing her to the other middles currently on the list, it was a no brainer.&nbsp; She is able to turn on the ball with ease as she is in the air and score around a block so well.&nbsp; Please congratulate her on the achievement of being listed as one of the best players in the state of Texas in the 2025 class.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212728' first='Anna' last='Claire Brown']&nbsp;[2025] 6-0 Middle (HS: Gateway College Prep/Club: Austin Juniors/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Please welcome Anna Claire to the State Rankings List.&nbsp; She is currently ranked as the 45^th best overall prospect in the 2025 class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.&nbsp; Miss Brown plays at Gateway College Prep High School and also club for the nationally known Austin Juniors program. &nbsp;She can run every middle route with great pace and explosiveness.&nbsp; She rises up off of the ground quickly and has a cannon for an arm.&nbsp; Her skills as a freshman on varsity earned her newcomer of the year for district 19-4A last season.&nbsp; We are very excited to see how she will follow that up this coming season.&nbsp; If this past club season showed us anything, it showed her rival schools that they better watch out for Miss Brown.&nbsp; Please congratulate her on the honor of being named one of the best players in the state.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212729' first='Anna' last='Barr']</strong> <strong>[2025] 6-2 Outside (HS: Lovejoy/Club: [program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='Madfrog' last='']' last='']/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Please welcome Miss Barr to the State Rankings List.&nbsp; Anna is currently ranked as the 50^th best overall prospect in the 2025 class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.&nbsp; She plays at Lovejoy High School and club for the nationally ranked [program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='Madfrog' last='']' last=''] program. &nbsp;She definitely has the size and strength to be added to the conversation of being nominated to this list.&nbsp; But then you watch her play and you see that she has the ball control and precision in her technique to be listed amongst the best in the state for sure.&nbsp; Her footwork when transitioning and flaring out to her touch point is top notch. &nbsp;She is a six rotation outside who can throttle the ball down the line and also move it around the block sharp angle.&nbsp; Her ceiling to improve is extremely high and we will be watching her journey very closely.&nbsp; Please congratulate her on achieving the honor of being added to the State Rankings List.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes.&nbsp;
