Isabella Ocampo Isabella Ocampo 5'11" | OH Highland Park | 2025 State #146 Nation TX is familiar to me from last club season, but this year she has really come into her own as one of the rising elite outside hitters. The 5’10 outside has always had a ton of power and hops, but since playing a competitive varsity high school schedule, she has really brought all of that together to become a very effective heavy hitter.

She is a momentum changer, and can easily sway the course of the game with a few big swings in tight moments. This up-and-coming outside could turn out to be a big-time player for the Frisco area.
