High School Report – Teams to Watch Vol 6

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Texas High School season is well underway and there have been some teams that are separating themselves from the rest of the pack this season.&nbsp; This series will be highlighting a few of them as everyone marches through their district schedule.&nbsp; Let's take a closer look at who is standing out for these teams on the rise.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cypress Ranch Mustangs</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Mustangs of Cy Ranch have been on fire this season and have played some awesome volleyball as of late.&nbsp; They are currently 23-5 and undefeated in district 16-6A.&nbsp; Junior outside hitter [player_tooltip player_id='179890' first='Taylor' last='Porter'] has been stellar to say the least.&nbsp; She is the “go-to” hitter for Cy Ranch and has double the kills of the next best hitter.&nbsp; We have followed Miss Porter for quite a while now and this is nothing new to us.&nbsp; She is an elite volleyball player.&nbsp; Sophomore outside hitter Kaylee Parker has been phenomenal for the Mustangs as she has provided some much needed firepower from the pins.&nbsp; She is also digging up everything that comes her way to keep her team in the rally.&nbsp; Sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='268779' first='Zora' last='Bello'] and Senior [player_tooltip player_id='155125' first='Taryn' last='Gilreath'] are also stuffing the stat book with kills.&nbsp; They are both also dishing the rock at an elite level.&nbsp; I love how they are setting the tone for the squad.&nbsp; Senior libero Gabrielle Eads is keeping the back row steady as she passes nails to the setters.&nbsp; Senior Middles Logan Hart and [player_tooltip player_id='124150' first='Tya' last='Lynch'] are doing a fantastic job solidifying the defense at the net.&nbsp;&nbsp; This team has a great mix of upperclassmen and underclassmen to stay competitive for the next few years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Argyle Eagles</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Eagles are feasting on opponents as they currently sit at an overall record of 26-7 and 4-0 in district 7-5A.&nbsp; They are climbing up the rankings fast.&nbsp; Senior stud middle Katherine Holtman has been absolutely phenomenal on both the offensive side of the ball and defensively at the net as well.&nbsp; In my opinion, this team will go as far as she will help carry them.&nbsp; Now the load is not 100% on her but she does carry much of it.&nbsp; She is getting some awesome help from junior setter/right side [player_tooltip player_id='184252' first='Jordyn' last='Moore'] and seniors Shaye Feely and Camryn Heiser.&nbsp; Shaye and Jordyn are balling in the back row also as they both dig everything that comes their way.&nbsp; This back row is legit and it is led by junior standout libero [player_tooltip player_id='254289' first='Piper' last='Mickenheim'].&nbsp; She is one of the best floor generals in 5A for sure.&nbsp; This team can count on her to never give up on a ball and clean up any mess that can happen in ball control.&nbsp; Junior defensive specialist [player_tooltip player_id='254268' first='Madalyn' last='Justice'] also is helping to control the ship during serve receive as she helps the offense stay in system.&nbsp; All in all this team plays very well together and they have what it takes to go on a deep run in the 5A state playoffs.&nbsp; We will be watching closely as they embark on the journey.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Davenport Wolves</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This San Antonio squad has come out of nowhere to be a serious contender in the 4A division.&nbsp; They are currently 32-3 overall and undefeated in early district play.&nbsp; Senior outside hitter [player_tooltip player_id='307451' first='Talan' last='Dodson'] is averaging double digit kills each match and is hitting at a whopping .285 hitting percentage.&nbsp; Her efficiency in scoring is one big reason why they are so competitive.&nbsp; Junior outside [player_tooltip player_id='525270' first='Ashtan' last='Dodson'] is doing her thing offensively for this awesome squad also.&nbsp; She has been unstoppable from the left side providing some thunderous swings to the opposing side.&nbsp; I love that she can score in a variety of ways and pounds the ball down the line.&nbsp; Senior setter Emily Chabot and Super sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='318204' first='Alexis' last='Dahl'] are running an excellent 6-2 offense.&nbsp; It looks like a very balanced distribution of the ball to keep the defense guessing.&nbsp; They are incorporating the middles well to score also.&nbsp; Junior libero Logan Strong has been stellar out of the left back zone.&nbsp; She is passing and digging like a stud.&nbsp; I love how she moves backwards in serve receive to track the ball and doesn't raise her upper body.&nbsp; This keeps the ball moving forward to the setters and keeps the play in system to run a solid offense.&nbsp; Look for Davenport to go on a solid run to the state championship this season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes.&nbsp;
