Continue ReadingWe are weeks away from our awesome series of showcases across the country. We will be holding our Dallas Top 250 Showcase on November 25th from 9:00-11:00am at the Southwest Athletic Center. We are going to be previewing some of the players who have already signed up to participate. The one aspect that sets our showcases apart from every other one in the country is how we offer coverage, before, during, and after it is completed. Without further ado, here are a few players who you should be watching at the showcase.
Ava Henry [2026] 6-1 Middle (HS: John Paul II/Club: Victory/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Ava is currently an unranked prospect in the 2026 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings. She plays volleyball at John Paul II High School and also plays club for Victory volleyball club. Miss Henry is a menacing figure in the middle for any squad she suits up for. I love how strong and athletic she is running quick routes with her setter. She shows a lot of promise hammering the “32” set to the corners for a kill. Her blocking skills are elite and we are going to love to see how she stacks up against some of the best competition at the showcase. From what I see so far in her highlight film, she will be great at one on one drills against other middle competitors. She uses her arms very well to propel herself a little higher while she blocks. What I really love about her play is that she has a high motor and can also hit the high tempo set on the pins if her team needs her to. Stay tuned for more as we watch her showcase her skills in Dallas.
Katelyn Marion Katelyn Marion 6'1" | MB Guyer | 2025 TX [2025] 6-1 Middle/Right Side (HS: Guyer/Club: Texas Advantage Volleyball/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Katelyn is currently an unranked prospect in the 2025 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but I am very intrigued to watch her at the showcase. She plays volleyball at Guyer High School and club for the nationally recognized Texas Advantage Volleyball program. Miss Marion is a tall blocker and attacker who is listed as a middle, but is also able to play on the right side pin as well. After watching her film, she does a nice job of attacking the ball at the peak of her reach, which will make it difficult for any blocker to time her attack consistently. She possesses enough power to do some damage at the net and provide some much needed firepower to any offense. When she connects, she can bring the heat. I love that she is able to let the ball cross over her body when playing right side and crank the line shot with authority. This is a tough ball to play for the defense and will score at a very high clip for her squad. I am eager to watch her in person and see how she stacks up against the competition.
Layla Austin Layla Austin 5'10" | OH Southlake Carroll | 2026 State TX [2026] 5-10 Outside (HS: Southlake Carroll/Club: Texas Advantage Volleyball/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Layla is currently ranked as the 85th best overall prospect in the 2026 class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings. She plays volleyball at Southlake Carroll High School and club for Texas Advantage Volleyball. This young lady’s stock is on a meteoric rise after this high school season has shown us that she is for real. She led her team in quite a few statistical categories as a sophomore on varsity. Her play is a huge reason why the Dragons were 12-0 in district and are currently in the final 16 of the UIL State 6A Playoffs. We have seen her in person at our showcases before and I firmly believe she will steal the show at this event in a few weeks. If you don’t know her name by now, I will make sure you do after we cover her body of work. There is not a location on the court that she cannot score from and her back row defense is just as good as her front row attacking. Her cannon of a right arm will be exploding all over the competition and you should definitely be watching in person at the event or on BallerTV as it will streamed. Stay tuned for more on this phenom.
