If you have a need for a true six rotation player, look no further. We are proud to have her listed as a nominee.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a nomination for one of our All-State Awards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='155117' first='Ayden' last='Ames']&nbsp;[2024] 6-3 Middle/Outside (HS: Prosper/Club: [program_tooltip program_id='431308' first='Texas' last='Advantage']/Verbal: Nebraska)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ayden is currently ranked as the 4^th&nbsp;best overall prospect and also the best middle in the 2024 class in the entire state of Texas.&nbsp; She is also listed as the 7^th&nbsp;best overall prospect in the nation according to our national rankings.&nbsp; She plays at Prosper High School and also the famed [program_tooltip program_id='431308' first='Texas' last='Advantage'] Volleyball club program.&nbsp; We just profiled her a few weeks ago when we talked about some of the most prolific scorers in the state.&nbsp; Miss Ames is the total package for Prosper and she is one of the main reasons why her team is still in the hunt for the state title in 6A.&nbsp; 542 kills on a superb .326 hitting percentage.&nbsp; Most players specialize in one position, but Ayden's coaches have really helped her gain so much versatility by having her play multiple positions throughout the years.&nbsp; This has helped her tally 20 aces, 94 total blocks, 245 digs and 459 service receptions.&nbsp; Since coming over from Cali she has become one of Texas' best volleyball players.&nbsp; We are proud to have her as a nominee.&nbsp; Please congratulate her on earning a nomination for an All-State Award.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are many more amazing players that will be nominated.&nbsp; Stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes to see who ends up with a chance at one of the prestigious awards.&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 Texas Family!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
