Continue ReadingThe high school season is finishing up conference play and there are some players that are scoring at will all over the court. These young ladies cannot be stopped. 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. We are going to start with the sensational senior class and give props to the attackers who are leading the entire state in kills. Please help us recognize the following players.
Morgan Castaneda Morgan Castaneda 5'10" | OH Redwood | 2023 CA [2023] 5-10 Outside (HS: Redwood/ Verbal: Uncommitted)
Morgan is currently an unranked prospect in the 2023 Class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings, but is on our watch list. She is currently killing it for Redwood High School this season. Currently her kill total is at 462 on a super impressive and efficient .341 hitting percentage. Her varsity squad is sitting at 32-3 overall and also are undefeated in their conference play at 10-0. Miss Castaneda’s offensive output is a huge reason why they are so dominant this season. I love how high of a contact point she has when she attacks. It makes it very difficult for opposing blockers to slow her down. The most impressive aspect is how she is able to still turn on the ball during out of system plays and hit line. She lets the ball be in a perfect position at her “1 o’clock” position of her body to control the line shot. I can’t wait to update the rankings to see where she will fall on the list.
Kaitlyn Cabral Kaitlyn Cabral 5'11" | OH University Prep | 2023 CA [2023] 5-9 Outside (HS: University Prep/Club: Synergy Force/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Kaitlyn is currently an unranked prospect in the 2023 class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings, but is on our watch list. She stars on the outside for University Prep high school this year and plays club for Synergy Force. Currently she has the fifth most kills amongst all seniors in the entire state. Her tally sits at 453 kills on a jaw-dropping .418 hitting percentage. Her production has her varsity squad sitting at 36-3 overall on the season and also undefeated in conference play. She is no stranger to success as she led University Prep to their first ever state championship ship last season with her golden arm. When you watch her play the game, you see a true six-rotation player who excels in the back row. She has impeccable footwork while shuffling to the ball and always stays so balanced prior to contact. She will be someone who will have no problem making the rankings when the new update is released.
Olivia Babcock Olivia Babcock 6'3" | OH Sierra Canyon | 2023 State #13 Nation CA [2023] 6-3 Outside/Right Side (HS: Sierra Canyon/Club: Sunshine/Verbal: University of Pittsburgh)
Olivia is currently ranked as the 27th best overall prospect in the 2023 class according to our Prep Dig National Rankings. She is also currently ranked as the 5th best overall prospect in the 2023 class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings. She plays at Sierra Canyon High School and also club for the amazing Sunshine volleyball program. I watched her torch teams at nationals in Indy this summer and it was super fun to watch. Her athleticism was on full display for the entire four days. We are still watching as she currently has the 6th most kills on the year amongst all seniors in the state of Cali. Her kill total sits at 424 on a very impressive .295 hitting percentage. She leads her team in attempts also at 953 and it is no secret why. This young lady can absolutely ball all over the court. She rises up with the best of them at every location along the net and can also score in bunches out of the back row. She has her squad at 30-4 overall and 9-1 in conference play.
