<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The State Rankings update is here!!! We have added quite a few new players in this update and tons have made some serious moves bettering their stock.&nbsp; We have been watching the 2025 class very closely throughout the entire high school and new club season. &nbsp;A lot of the analysis has come from watching these players in person and also by watching the amazing footage that has been uploaded to everyone's recruiting profiles.&nbsp; We have been talking to a lot of coaches across the country and this class is littered with college prospects.&nbsp; The following players showed us all that they deserved to be listed in the rankings due to their individual performances.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='392603' first='Audrey' last='Nuckols'] [2025] 6-2 Outside (HS: Mayfield Senior/Club: SG Elite/Verbal: Auburn)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Please officially welcome Miss Nuckols to the State Rankings.&nbsp; She is currently ranked as the 63<sup>rd</sup> best overall player according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.&nbsp; She plays at Mayfield Senior High School and for the [program_tooltip program_id='429511' first='San' last='Gabriel Elite'] volleyball club program.&nbsp; Audrey is a fantastic left side attacker who can play all six rotations at a high level.&nbsp; The Auburn commit is a high skilled scorer from every location on the court.&nbsp; As an attacker, she has a unique ability to get completely on top of the ball driving it down to the floor near the attack like on the opposing side.&nbsp; Her arm acts like a hammer as she pounds out kill after kill.&nbsp; It doesn't matter which pin she is on during serve receive as the final result remains the same, she will kill the ball.&nbsp; One of the best aspects of her attacking is her ability to keep her arm very high at the point of contact with the ball.&nbsp; This makes it very difficult for any blocker to time her well and usually results in a scoring opportunity.&nbsp; We are very proud to have her listed on our prestigious State Rankings list.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on her achievement of being listed amongst the great players of this state.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='466644' first='Emery' last='Tubbs'] [2025] 6-1 Middle (HS: Santiago/Club: Forza1 North/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Please officially welcome Miss Tubbs to the State Rankings.&nbsp; She is currently ranked as the 64<sup>th</sup> best overall player according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.&nbsp; She plays at Santiago High School and for the Forza1 North volleyball club program.&nbsp; The two sport star also shines on the basketball court for her high school.&nbsp; In her third year on varsity this past season, her role intensified greatly and she became a focal point of the team's offense eclipsing 157 kills on a super impressive .397 hitting percentage.&nbsp; This kill total is more than she amassed in her freshman and sophomore campaigns combined.&nbsp; One aspect that stands out about her play is how she times the pass and set for quicks.&nbsp; You can tell that she has worked hard at many reps to make sure that her and her setter are on the same page with when to start her approach.&nbsp; The amazing timing really helps her to beat the block.&nbsp; In those rare times when the block is set up on her, I also love the fact that she is able to turn on the ball and hit around it to score.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot in our prestigious State Rankings.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='478935' first='Leila' last='Ballard'] [2025] 5-10 Outside (HS: Saugus/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Please officially welcome Miss Ballard to the State Rankings.&nbsp; She is currently ranked as the 65<sup>th</sup> best overall player according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.&nbsp; She stars on the volleyball court at Saugus High School.&nbsp; From her sophomore season to her latest junior year, she almost doubled her kill total, which is super impressive.&nbsp; That kind of production increase has been noticed by us as she was one of the We are happy to have her listed amongst Cali's best players.&nbsp; Her arm swing can be best described as extremely violent.&nbsp; There is one moment before she makes contact with the ball that is almost calm and then an explosion occurs that is beautiful to watch.&nbsp; One trick that she employs that helps her score at a high clip is when she turns on the ball in mid air to hit line.&nbsp; The best outside hitters can be so deceptive with this that the block will read their shoulders and set up on the cross court attack.&nbsp; Miss Ballard does such a great job of facing cross-court until the very last second so that she can turn on it at the last second and throttle the line.&nbsp; It works almost every single time for her.&nbsp; We will be watching her very closely for the foreseeable future.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot in our prestigious State Rankings.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes.&nbsp;
