<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The high school season is going at full pace in the state of Texas and every team in the state has been on the court enough times for us to have a good idea about what to expect from them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here at PrepDig, we are committed to covering and promoting as many prospects as possible, from the most popular names to the hidden gems that typically abound at the Lone Star State and during the high school season we're also doing it by featuring the teams they play at.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every time we're at the gym, we're giving a good look at the teams on the court and we'll try to feature as many as possible here in this space. Today, it's the turn of the Fort Bend Dulles Vikings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>The Squad</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Vikings entered this season having to make changes in two key positions after their starting setter and libero from 2021 graduated. Everywhere else, though, Dulles will look mostly the same, with outside hitters [player_tooltip player_id='87561' first='Kylie' last='Mueller'] and Renato Bolado and middle blocker Noor Haydari running the show.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/DullesVball/status/1562612343603077124?s=20u0026t=8jYXdLX5g-0_3KAt1-MAiQ","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/DullesVball/status/1562612343603077124?s=20&amp;t=8jYXdLX5g-0_3KAt1-MAiQ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Key Players</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6307def6bd258","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["87561"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The explosive Mueller is easily the team's most important player. Very complete, she gets the job done in several different areas for the Vikings, but it's her offense that makes of her a special player. A si-footer, Mueller is extremely mobile and versatile, being equally effective on either pin. She started the season playing some middle too and showed excellent timing with her blocking. Also a very good server and a solid defensive player, Mueller achieved 1,000 kills in her high school career right after the start of the season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6508f33074264"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"id":"block_6307dfdabd259","name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13629287/6303cb65bed6d4044ca1ddfa' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6508f33074288"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6307dfe1bd25a","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["176639"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The 5'10u0022 Bolado also plays a key role in making of the Vikings a very competitive team.
