<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Top Court Events brought the MLK Invitational to Houston this past weekend where hundreds of Texas teams gathered to face some serious competition. Big name out of state clubs like Tribe and Kiva were in attendance with some major offensive power, and Texas teams pulled out strong! Take a look at a few Texas Top Performers below.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='536463' first='Caroline' last='Walden'] - [program_tooltip program_id='431337' first='Texas' last='Tornados'] - Outside</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Outside hitter [player_tooltip player_id='536463' first='Caroline' last='Walden'] helped her team propel to the top of the 16 Premier division at MLK. Caroline's 6 foot frame make her a threat to any team and she brings a heavy arm swing to the ball as well. Caroline is starting to gain more traction on the volleyball scene as more people are seeing the offensive value she brings to the table. She also has a wide range of shots that she can hit consistently. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17992018/63010aa6d225d40b78dc2f7d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a8229e6dfd1"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='443024' first='Justice' last='Rachal']- Texas Legacy - Outside</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Even though Texas Legacy 16 Elite missed out on the Gold Bracket on the crossover match, they gave Kiva 16 Red a run for their money and barely lost in a tight 3rd set. Justice was a major contributor to that game, hitting well from the front and back row. She also tagged on several aces. Her speed and agility made her stand out from the crowd and catch my attention. She also is a high-flyer with high approach touch point.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15464389/65a768c4688edf11d41c6d50' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a8229e6dff8"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='269827' first='Sarah' last='Odell'] - North Houston Elite - Outside</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='269827' first='Sarah' last='Odell'] has started to make a name for herself this season after being a major contributor to Tomball Memorials deep playoff run this season. She helped lead North Houston Elite to a top 3 finish in the 16 Club division this weekend. Sarah can play either pin with ease, and loves to move across the front row to get available for her setters. She is an excellent blocker and lines up on the hitter well which allows her to get tons of touches and blocks. Sarah also is an aggressive attacker that can be dependable to put the ball away.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18688505/65a705b1a019ef00a0186dac' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a8229e6e013"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='453228' first='Mia' last='Duong'] - CC Force - Libero</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='453228' first='Mia' last='Duong'] helped lead Corpus Christi Force to a Semi-Final appearance in 16 Open over the weekend. She was defensively one of the best liberos in 16 Open over the weekend, and always seemed to make scrappy defensive plays to keep the ball alive. She also dug hard driven balls with ease and seemed to always be in the right place at the right time. Mia is definitely on my watchlist for this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='438284' first='Kelly' last='Wright'] - MoCo Mavs - Outside</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Up-and-coming outside hitter [player_tooltip player_id='438284' first='Kelly' last='Wright'] is starting to catch some attention for her high flying ability and heavy arm swing that was viewed this weekend. She is a 6 rotation outside in the 2027 class that is full of talent already, but Kelly stood out on her court this weekend. Kelly helped lead her team to a top 3 finish in 15 Premier this weekend going undefeated until the semi-finals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/20440582/6594e86e9a90dc08b45137e1' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a8229e6e02d"} /-->
