Jaw Dropping Junior Scorers – Vol 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The high school season is ramping up district play and there are some players that are scoring at will all over the court.&nbsp; These young ladies cannot be stopped.&nbsp; They are scoring in bunches for their varsity squads and no one has been able to slow them down.&nbsp; This series of articles will be highlighting players in every grade level who are filling up the stat books.&nbsp; This next article series will cover the junior class and give props to the attackers who are leading the entire state in kills.&nbsp; Please help us recognize the following players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='186815' first='Madison' last='Triplett']&nbsp;[2024] 5-9 Outside (HS: El Capitan/Club: Coast/ Verbal: UC at Santa Barbara)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Madison is currently an unranked prospect in the 2024 Class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings, but has been on our watch list for a while now.&nbsp; She should have no problem being ranked once I update them in a few weeks.&nbsp; She plays for El Capitan High School and also for the amazing Coast program. &nbsp;Miss Triplett has already tallied 451 kills on a wonderful .287 hitting percentage. &nbsp;She has eclipsed every statistical category from last year to this year letting everyone know just how polished she is becoming.&nbsp; We as coaches talk a lot about creating momentum with our approach in order to help gain more power on our attacks and more height in our vertical.&nbsp; This can be seen in every attempt that Madison tries.&nbsp; She masters the art of timing her last two steps in order to speed up and create momentum.&nbsp; Although slightly smaller than most pins, she has great hang time and hits the ball at the peak of her jump to stay potent on offense.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='160966' first='MacKenzie' last='Parsons'] [2024] 6-2 Middle (HS: Poway/Club: Coast/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mackenzie is currently ranked as the 20^th best overall prospect in the 2024 Class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.&nbsp; She plays at Poway High School and also club for the nationally ranked Coast volleyball program. &nbsp; She has tallied 407 kills on a phenomenal .532 hitting percentage. While most of the kill leaders are pin attackers, Miss Parsons is able to do most of her damage out of the middle position.&nbsp; However, she is doing it more efficiently and better than all middles in the state of California for her grad class.&nbsp; She runs a fantastic slide out of the middle that is almost unstoppable.&nbsp; She mixes great footwork on every route with strong power from her upper body to destroy the ball.&nbsp; There haven't been many blockers or back row defenders able to stop her consistently.&nbsp; Her setter knows just how dangerous she is and that is why they feed her early and often.&nbsp; The two-sport star will continue her dominant ways and we will be watching very closely.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='160970' first='Jordan' last='Vander Veen']&nbsp;[2024] 5-9 Outside (HS: Ripon Christian/Club: Rage Volleyball Club/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jordan is currently an unranked prospect in the 2024 class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.&nbsp; She stars on the outside for Ripon Christian High School and also for the Rage Volleyball Club program. &nbsp;She has already tallied 403 kills on a great .319 hitting percentage. &nbsp;Her amazing offense has led to her squad being undefeated in their conference with a 14-0 record.&nbsp; Jordan is a solid two-way six-rotation outside who excels on defense also.&nbsp; But as an attacker she is able to hit effectively from both the front row and back row.&nbsp; Her transition footwork off of the net is super quick and it allows her to use excellent vision to time the ball perfectly.&nbsp; She is also great at speeding up her arm swing when she sees a split in the block to score for her team.&nbsp; I love the fact that she understands the game at a high level like when she get set inside and is able to adjust her footwork to the ball and still turn on it to hit line.&nbsp; Not many players are able to do this often, but Miss Vander Veen can.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes.&nbsp; If you have anyone you think we should watch out for, please shoot me an email with some info at <a href="mailto:nov8vb@yahoo.com">nov8vb@yahoo.com</a>.&nbsp; Also don't forget to help these kids get more exposure by sharing our stories with your friends.&nbsp; Help us help them by simply retweeting on Twitter or sharing on Facebook.&nbsp; Thanks for following California Family!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
