AAU Houston Grand Prix – 17s – Photo Gallery

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>All eyes in club volleyball this weekend are turned to the Triple Crown NIT, one of the most anticipated tournaments of the entire calendar, which is reuniting the very best teams of the country in Kansas City, MO. Prep Dig is having and will continue to have for the next several extensive coverage of the event, but we're also following very closely all the local tournaments that take place during President's Day weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of these for the state of Texas is the AAU Houston Grand Prix, a massive event that reunites 170 teams in seven different age groups across three venues in the Houston area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was at the Katy United facility on Saturday, checking out the 17s division, which featured 19 teams from Texas, Louisiana and Utah. I'll bring my traditional positional breakdowns and All-Tournament Team over next week, but for today I have the best photos of the day at Katy United.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:gallery
