They are scoring in bunches for their varsity squads and no one has been able to slow them down. This series of articles will be highlighting players in every grade level who are filling up the stat books. This next article series will cover the middle position. These awesome studs have been blocking the opposition and scoring for their squads at will. Please help us recognize the following players.
Makayla Fuller [2023] 6-1 Middle (HS: Excelsior Charter/Club: Rancho Valley/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Makayla is currently an unranked prospect in the Prep Dig California State Rankings for the class of 2023. She plays at Excelsior Charter High School and club for Rancho Valley. She has been a monster at the net as she has tallied 127 total blocks. This season she currently has 181 kills on a massive .229 hitting percentage. This kind of both offensive and defensive production shows just how good she is for her varsity squad. She is a big reason they are 22-5-1 overall and 9-1 in their conference.
Liv Hertzog Liv Hertzog 6'2" | MB Mater Dei | 2023 State CA [2023] 6-0 Middle (HS: Mater Dei/Club: Mizuno Long Beach/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Liv is currently ranked as the 46th best overall prospect in the Prep Dig California State Rankings for the class of 2023. She plays at Mater Dei High School and club for famed Mizuno Long Beach club program. She has tallied 185 kills on an amazingly efficient .432 hitting percentage. Her defensive play has been stellar with 125 total blocks at the net. She has led her team to an overall record of 29-8 and also 7-1 in conference play. I love how she rises up off of the ground so rapidly. It makes it very difficult for opposing blockers to time her. She runs a slide like a beast and no one can stop her, which is why she is so efficient.
Mckenna Brady [2023] 6-1 Middle (HS: Fresno Christian/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Mckenna is currently an unranked prospect in the 2025 Class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings. She is a fantastic middle at Fresno Christian High School. She has tallied 163 kills on a fabulous .307 hitting percentage. But what makes her very valuable this year is her blocking as she has tallied 120 total blocks and 102 of them were solo. She is a stud on the soccer pitch also for Fresno Christian. She has been killing overpasses, scoring out of system and also turning on quick tempo sets to the corners really well this year.
