<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A couple weeks ago we put together a top twenty for the DMV area.

The older sister Isabel sets while the younger one Grace pummels balls from the outside. <strong>Claire Wortman</strong> also swings effectively from the outside. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='397397' first='Jasmine' last='Williams'] </strong>does not have the length of most middles, but she still remains effective putting balls away. They played a tough schedule to start the season, but whipped together victories over Battlefield, First Colonial and Massaponax.

The James Madison commit is only a junior but can be a force from the middle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>St. Catherines (6-0) - The Saints are a private school that competes in the VISAA state championships. They have some convincing wins over Courtland and Collegiate. Middle <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='464566' first='Taylor' last='Meredith'] </strong>has the ability to run quicks in the middle, keeping the outside lanes free of double blocking. Libero <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='248635' first='Campbell' last='Wood']</strong> helps the team stay in system with her precision passing. You also have to love a player who dolphin dives after every ball within her grasp. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='297528' first='Anne' last='Fielding Croft'] </strong>dishes out the sets. <strong>Madison Loving</strong> is a smaller outside who hits the ball well and can also set.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["230817"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64fa9bfdde9ed"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>James Madison (8-0) - They put together two tournament wins over previously undefeated Langley and Colgan. Those are statement victories. They rely on a fantastic foursome with Frosh <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='265167' first='Laila' last='Chadwick'] </strong>keying the offense with her potential to hit from the back or front row. Middles <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='230817' first='Riley' last='Lynch']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='183606' first='Camille' last='Pomeroy']</strong> can hit the quicks to open up the outsides as well as plug up the lanes with their blocks. Libero <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='209800' first='Sydney' last='Pham'] </strong>is solid with her passes and defense. Weave together two setters <strong>Norah Vaudo </strong>and <strong>Brianna Vo</strong> with two right sides frosh <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='359401' first='Chloe' last='Barth']</strong> and senior <strong>Samantha Van Vollenhaven </strong>and this team can make some noise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>First Colonial (5-1) - Their only loss has been to Colonial Forge in a tournament. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='465285' first='Keely' last='Heffelfinger']</strong> plays six rotations and keeps the offense clicking. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='249294' first='Teagan' last='Emdadi'] </strong>also contributes from the left side. Michigan State commit <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='248630' first='Kayla' last='Foley'] </strong>could be one of the better liberos in the state of Virginia. She also seems to always be near the ball whether to pass or play defense. Setter <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='465293' first='Juliana' last='Dooren'] </strong>orchestrates the offense with masterful setting. The Patriots can also run a 6/2 with <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='643829' first='Jordan' last='Baker']</strong> as the second setter. <strong>Gabrielle Taylor </strong>plays a strong middle, especially when running the quicks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["238365"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64fa9bfddea50"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Briar Woods (5-0) - They have been a surprise with sweeps in three of their first five matches. Their opener was a five game win over Loudoun County. Clemson commit <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='237667' first='Skyler' last='Riggio']</strong> is the key to their offense. She plays right side but plays all six rotations. Her lefthanded swing brings the heat. For her to play six rotations <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='471623' first='Reagan' last='Walters']</strong> handles the setting duties in a 5/1. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='453965' first='Taylor' last='Hansen']</strong> stands small for a left side but she still hits the ball a ton. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='238365' first='Molly' last='Gardner']</strong> roams the back row as the libero. The 6'0"<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='237669' first='Emily' last='Peterson']</strong> and 5'11" <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='237668' first='Shannon' last='Callaghan']</strong> share the middle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["196556"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64fa9bfddeab6"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hidden Valley (3-0) - Last year Hidden Valley went undefeated until the last game of the season when they lost in the finals of the Class 3 state championships. The offense churns around the 5'7" left side <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='196556' first='Caleigh' last='Ponn'],</strong> who led all of Virginia in kills last year. The Kansas State commit plays libero for club. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='235285' first='Calli' last='Anderson']</strong> is a smooth setter who knows her role. Find the hot hitter named Ponn. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='233482' first='Lauren' last='Whitaker']</strong> patrols the back row as the libero. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Grafton (4-0) - They appeared in the finals in the Class 4 State championships the last six years but lost either to Loudoun County or James Woods. They drop down to Class 3 this year. Hidden Valley welcomes them. Last year Hidden Valley beat Grafton in the Endless Summer tournament. The Clippers are led by <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='233007' first='Alexis' last='Keeter'],</strong> a one woman army who leads the team in kills. Frosh <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='465315' first='Ana' last='Breckons'] </strong>has made some noise blocking the middle. Sophomore <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='238858' first='Allyson' last='Burke']</strong> comes seasoned with one more year of experience playing the libero position. <strong> [player_tooltip player_id='545714' first='Kaylie' last='Klemm']</strong> creates the plays with her smooth setting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

A couple weeks ago we put together a top twenty for the DMV area. You can see the top ten from that list at this link First Top Ten DMV High School Ranking | Prep Dig. The Virginia season has gotten started so next week we will rank for the first time our top twenty high school volleyball teams in Virginia.
