<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The high school volleyball season is underway in the state of Texas and although most teams around the Lone Star State are yet to play their first district matches, the level of play has been through the roof right from the start.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With positions to be won in the starting lineup of teams and adjustments and positional changes taking place in basically every squad, players have been pushed to bring their 'A' game early on and that's translating into some very powerful performances across the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are five players who started the season on fire:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["318127"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The top prospect in our Class of 2026 Prep Dig State Rankings, Anderson was a key element in Dripping Springs' championship-winning squad last season. With some seniors graduating after their last campaign, it was expected her role with the team would be even bigger this time around and preseason has just confirmed that. Anderson has tallied 138 kills in the first 26 sets of the season, helping her team win its first 11 matches while dropping just two sets. She started the season with 21 kills in a four-set win over Rouse a week ago and never looked back, delivering 16 in a two-set match against Ursuline Academy over the weekend.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64da80565dc86"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/DSTigerVBall/status/1690107926726209536?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/DSTigerVBall/status/1690107926726209536?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["124110"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Playing a dual role of setter and outside hitter for Brenham, Crowson is probably one of the very few players in the state to have tallied more than 100 kills and assists already. She has always been an extremely solid playmaker for the Cubettes and this year will have an added offensive responsibility with the graduation of star outside hitter Brooke Bentke. Crowson is currently at 102 kills and 162 assists for the season and has also produced 70 digs and 17 aces across 31 sets. She was on fire against Katy Taylor last week, leaving the court with 14 kills, 19 assists and nine digs, jus one defensive action away from a triple double.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64da80565dd3a"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/BrenhamVBall/status/1690474912731860992?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/BrenhamVBall/status/1690474912731860992?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='519547' first='Rheanna' last='Deen-Jackson']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32924","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Atascocita","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Houston Skyline","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Atascocita have four wins and four losses in the season so far, but Deen-Jackson has emerged as a true force in the middle for them.
