Continue ReadingThe 2022 High School season has been amazing so far! Along with our readers, we have been on pins and needles watching teams battle all season long. There have been some amazing tournaments and great district battles. We have been talking to coaches, reading tons of stats, and getting lots of video submissions from parents and players regarding how everyone has fared over the course of the season. As we are now into the playoffs, we will be discussing some players who are being nominated for our Prep Dig Texas All-State Awards. Our end-of-season awards are going to be different because we are going to consider all divisions/conferences together and pick the best of the best. The Outsides we will be discussing have been tearing it up and proving themselves all season long with some amazing statistics. Let’s meet some of the nominees:
Brooklyn Jaeger Brooklyn Jaeger 5'9" | OH Fayetteville | 2023 State TX [2023] 5-9 Outside (HS: Fayetteville/Club: Texstar/ Verbal: Texas A&M Corpus Christi)
Brooklyn is the 105th ranked prospect in the 2023 Class according to our Prep Dig State Rankings. She plays for Fayetteville High School and also for Texstar Volleyball club. We have profiled her a few times over the last couple of years and she has been a consistent attacker. Last high school season she led all of Texas in kills. This year is a little more of the same. I have watched her in person and she is a very explosive dynamo on the left side. While smaller than most outsides, she still plays very well above the net due to an awesome vertical and a crazy pop on the ball when she makes hand contact. She also moves the ball around the block very well as she has exceptional shot making abilities. Brooklyn has already tallied 847 kills on a very impressive and efficient .328 hitting percentage. The Texas A&M Corpus Christi commit is having a stellar senior season. Seeing players from smaller schools be able to drop the hammer just as good as those from bigger schools is awesome. Please congratulate her on being nominated for an All-State award.
Bianna Muoneke Bianna Muoneke 6'0" | OH Cy Ranch | 2023 State #80 Nation TX [2023] 6-0 Outside (HS: Cy Ranch/Club: Houston Juniors /Verbal: Texas A&M)
Bianna is currently ranked as the 11th best overall prospect in the 2023 class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings. She stars on the outside for Cypress Ranch high school and also for the awesome Houston Juniors program. I just profiled her with an article last month and here is what I stated, “While I watched her at the Volleypalooza tourney, Miss Muoneke was stellar to say the least in every aspect of the sport. She had almost every spectator in awe of her amazing vertical with every attack. Just when her team needed it, she seemed to revive them with a power shot. The entire varsity team would be electrified with energy with every swing. A player of her caliber brings so much to her team that the stat book doesn’t keep track of. It was so much fun to watch her do her thing at a high level for so many matches. If Cy Ranch goes to state like many think they will, Bianna will be one of the main reasons and has a chance to earn MVP honors.” She has been on a tear this year and has already tallied 767 kills on a whopping .405 hitting percentage. She has her team ranked in the top five in almost every publication’s rankings. It is due in large part to her production as a scorer. She led Cy Ranch to a deep in the playoff run. Bianna is one of the best hitters in the entire country. Please congratulate her on being nominated for an All-State award.
Nayeli Gonzalez Nayeli Gonzalez 6'2" | MB Cornerstone Christian | 2023 State #35 Nation TX [2023] 6-2 Outside (HS: Cornerstone Christian/Club: Alamo/Verbal: Iowa State University)
Nayeli is currently ranked as the 3rd best overall prospect in the 2023 class in the entire state of Texas. She is also listed as the 30th best overall prospect in the nation according to our national rankings. She plays at Cornerstone Christian High School and also the famed Alamo club program out of the San Antonio area. We have covered her a few times over the last couple of years during club and she has only gotten better and better. The amount of power that this young woman has in her entire body is amazing. She has been on a tear this year and has already tallied 573 kills on an amazing .377 hitting percentage. Cornerstone Christian has been listed as one of the top high school volleyball teams in the entire country and Nayeli is a huge reason why. Her offensive production has been stellar to say the least. She is currently 6th in the entire state in scoring for seniors. She is having one of the best senior seasons we have seen in a while and is one of the most talented scorers in the entire United States. She has proven this with wins over many top schools around the country in top level tournaments this year. Please congratulate her on being nominated for an All-State award.
Emma Patmon Emma Patmon 5'8" | OH Cedar Ridge | 2023 State TX [2023] 5-8 Outside (HS: Cedar Ridge/Club: Austin Skyline/Verbal: Lafayette)
Emma is currently ranked as the 38th best overall prospect in the 2023 class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings. She plays at Cedar Ridge High School and also club for Austin Skyline. Emma is what we like to call lightning in a bottle. Every aspect of her game is electrifying. We have watched her rise amongst the state rankings due to the hard work that she constantly puts in to working on her craft. She has tallied 601 kills on a great .254 hitting percentage. Every time this young lady rises up off of the ground the entire gym’s eyes widen as they know they will see something spectacular. We have covered her for the past couple of years and have seen her progress so much. We are proud to have her nominated this season as it is very warranted due to her production on the court. She has put in some serious work and it is being recognized. Please congratulate her on being nominated for an All-State award.
