Continue ReadingIt doesn’t matter what level you play at when you think about the fact that NCAA research shows that only four percent of high school volleyball players play in college. Texas is second to none when it comes to our players earning the right to play at the next level. The offers for our wonderful Texas players keep coming. We love to see the pictures and news of these players as they are achieving their dreams. We are proud to announce some news from the recruiting front. There are three more players who have just committed to college volleyball programs recently and we would like to share the news. These young ladies have been hard at work during the club and high school volleyball season. They also have been hard at work on the recruiting scene getting offers from schools and have made their college decisions. Help us in congratulating them on the amazing news.
Gabriella Ashcraft Gabriella Ashcraft 5'9" | S Rockwall | 2024 State TX [2024] 5-9 Setter (HS: Rockwall/Club: Madfrog /Verbal: Palm Beach Atlantic University)
Gabi is currently ranked as the 79th best overall prospect in the 2024 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings. She plays volleyball at Rockwall High School and also plays club for Madfrog . Miss Ashcraft always has her head on a swivel when she is in the right back zone on the defensive end. She is a beast as she picks up everything near her. Her great size, speed, and fast-twitch muscles make her a deadly weapon to have in the back row. Her ability to run a fast-paced offense is elite and she has already amassed over 1,500 assists in only two years on varsity. During the club season, Gabi has proven herself time and time again with having the ability to play at the highest level possible against top tier competition. There is not a set that she cannot replicate over and over. The ball comes out of her hands very clean and fast. She will definitely start as a freshman at the next level and have a long college career. We are proud to announce that she has decided to play college volleyball at Palm Beach Atlantic University. Please help us congratulate her on achieving her dream of playing at the next level.
Lila Houston [2023] 5-9 Outside (HS: Stoney Point/Club: Austin Skyline/Verbal: North Central College)
Lila is currently an unranked prospect in the 2023 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings. She plays volleyball at Stoney Point High School and club for Austin Skyline. Miss Houston has some serious hops as she rises up off of the ground both while attacking and during her blocking. Most players need to drive their legs into the ground and create some momentum in order to get high, but not Lila. She must have some sort of extra elevation gear inside of her because she can jump for an overpass or block without taking any steps and still get way over the net. That is not the only gift she has. Lila is blessed with a mean swing that she uses to score points at will on her opponents. This young lady can bring the heat as she rises up and attacks the ball with force on the pins. These skills will be very useful next season. We are proud to announce that she recently committed to playing volleyball at North Central College. Please help us congratulate her on achieving her dream of playing college volleyball.
Emma Flores [2023] 5-5 Libero (HS: Vista Ridge/Club: Austin Performance/Verbal: Eastern University)
Emma is currently an unranked prospect in the 2023 class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings. She plays volleyball at Vista Ridge High School and club for Austin Performance. Primarily based out of the middle back position this past season, she has been super solid with her ball control. There is something about her ability to keep her eyes fixated on the opposition side. She uses it to put herself in a perfect position to play the ball every time. While on defense, she has amazing court vision and great anticipation of where the setter will go with the ball. Her ability to stop on a dime and change her weight distribution allows her to lunge in the opposite direction and sprawl out for the ball to keep it live. Miss Flores will be a solid contributor at the next level and help keep a program’s offense flowing well. We are proud to announce that she has committed to playing volleyball at Eastern University. Please help us congratulate her on realizing her dream of playing at the next level.
