Some of the athletes listed may have played multiple positions on the court, but we have chosen them for the positions that we think they excelled at the most. We watched tons of matches this year and covered a lot of athletes in order to determine who was the best of the best. All of the wonderful players made it very difficult to decide both nominees and who eventually won due to their performances. Please help us congratulate these winners of our prestigious All-State Awards.
1st Team All State Selection: Middle
Makayla Fuller [2023] 6-1 Middle (HS: Excelsior Charter/Club: Rancho Valley/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Makayla is currently an unranked prospect in the Prep Dig California State Rankings for the class of 2023. She plays at Excelsior Charter High School and club for Rancho Valley. We profiled her earlier when she was nominated and here is a refresher on what we stated, “She has been a monster at the net as she has tallied 127 total blocks. This season she currently has 181 kills on a massive .229 hitting percentage. This kind of both offensive and defensive production shows just how good she is for her varsity squad. She is a big reason they are 22-5-1 overall and 9-1 in their conference.” She did a lot more for her team than just attack and block. She also had 34 digs and 77 aces which helped her team stay super competitive in conference. Her overall level of work cannot be dismissed as she showed why she was one of the best middles in her class this year. We are very proud to announce that she has earned 1st Team All-State from our publication. Please help us congratulate her on the honor.

Liv Hertzog Liv Hertzog 6'2" | MB Mater Dei | 2023 State CA [2023] 6-0 Middle (HS: Mater Dei/Club: Mizuno Long Beach/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Liv is currently ranked as the 46th best overall prospect in the Prep Dig California State Rankings for the class of 2023. She plays at Mater Dei High School and club for famed Mizuno Long Beach club program. We profiled her a few months ago when she was nominated for the award and here is a little from the article, “She has tallied 185 kills on an amazingly efficient .432 hitting percentage. Her defensive play has been stellar with 125 total blocks at the net. She has led her team to an overall record of 29-8 and also 7-1 in conference play. I love how she rises up off of the ground so rapidly. It makes it very difficult for opposing blockers to time her. She runs a slide like a beast and no one can stop her, which is why she is so efficient.” We I love just how fast she is laterally from pin to pin while patrolling the net. She was a show stopper in more ways than one for her high school squad. That kind of speed is a testament to the years of hard work that Miss Hertzog has put in to her craft. Because of her scoring and blocking production, we have chosen her to receive 1st Team All-State from our publication. Please help us congratulate her on the special achievement that she has earned during her senior season.
