Continue ReadingThe high school season is ramping up district 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 continue 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.
Sydney Garrison Sydney Garrison 5'11" | OH Aubrey | 2023 State TX [2023] 5-11 Outside (HS: Aubrey/Club: Tejas/ Verbal: Tarleton State)
Sydney is currently listed as the 58th best overall prospect in the 2023 class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings. She is a true six-rotation pin hitter from Aubrey High School and also from Tejas Volleyball club from the North Texas Region. We profiled her a while back and stated the following about her, “When college coaches ask me about players, they usually are looking for one type of outside. Either they want a banger or a ball control kid to balance out their roster. Syd is a combo of both. She can literally do it all on the court and her accolades show exactly that. When I watched her in person, I was drawn to her blocking footwork and how she reads the hitter. Everyone knows that Miss Garrison is a phenomenal attacker, but she is much more than that if you pay attention. She is the type of player you can build a team around and every coach across the country should give her the attention her play deserves.” She has not stopped her offensive barrage on opponents during her senior season as she has tallied the 7th most kills in the state amongst seniors. She currently sits at 577 kills on a .308 hitting percentage. This kind of offensive production is nothing new to us or anyone who has followed her career because she is an assassin on the court. Not many players can say that they have surpassed the 2k kill mark on their career, but this fireballer can. She will have an immediate impact for Tarleton State from the moment she arrives on campus next season. In the meantime, we will enjoy watching her finish out a wonderful career.
Karly Wells Karly Wells 6'1" | OH Keller Central | 2023 State TX [2023] 6-1 Right Side/Outside/Setter (HS: Keller Central/Club: Dallas Skyline/Verbal: Dallas Baptist University)
Karly is currently ranked as the 120th best overall player in the 2023 class according to our State Rankings. I recently wrote an article on her when she committed to Dallas Baptist and here is a little refresher of what I wrote, “She is a lengthy “slash” player from the Dallas area who can truly do it all on the court. She plays high school at Keller Central High School and club for the awesome Dallas Skyline volleyball program. I call her a “slash” player because she can literally do it all on the court. She plays left side slash right side slash setter. She has the length to be such a factor on the net whether attacking or blocking. But she truly excels on the offensive end with her natural power and fantastic hand contact.” The Dallas Baptist University commit has been on a tear this season and has amassed 531 kills on a super impressive .345 hitting percentage. This young lady will be what college coaches call an “Impact Player” at DBU. She will be a true game changer for them with her overall skill-set as a setter/hitter. Both positions are played at an elite level from Karly. We are proud of her accomplishments so far this season and cannot wait to see how her stats look at the end of the season.
Gracie Campbell Gracie Campbell 5'10" | OH Klein Oak | 2023 State TX [2023] 5-10 Outside (HS: Klein Oak/Club: Woodlands Revolution/Verbal: Nicholls State)
Gracie is currently ranked as the 118th best overall prospect in the 2023 class. She is a great pin hitter from Klein Oak High School and also plays club for Woodlands Revolution out of the Lone Star Region. This slugger has tallied 612 kills so far this year on a stellar .309 hitting percentage. That kind of efficiency will lead her team to the promised land called the UIL State Playoffs. She has routinely averaged high double-digit kills in every match this season. Gracie is the type of attacker that gets set wherever she is on the court. Her setters know how dangerous she is and feed her early and often. I have seen her be able to not even take an approach during out of system plays and still be able to touch high and hit hard for a score. The Nicholls State commit will do a great job at the next level once she steps on campus. In the meantime we will watch her dominance one more time.
