Here are some teams and players who definitely are turning heads due to their play. This series will highlight some players who we have seen in person and we are adding to our list to watch this season.
Excel 15 National Red
Setter Charlotte Cavin did a fantastic job of moving the ball around to all of her hitters. She was solid at running the middle and also feeding Kingston Auvaa. Speaking of Kingston, the lefty ran middle attacks out of certain rotations from serve receive. Super lengthy outside hitter Natalie Norton Natalie Norton 6'3" | OH Pantego Christian Academy | 2027 State TX was doing it all on the court for this squad. She played all six rotations and passed the ball extremely well. Her attacking is elite to say the least. Not many in this age group can match up with her height at the net and she can bring the thunder from the left. In my opinion, she is one of the top offensive weapons for Excel and they will run a lot though her. Olivia Herron Olivia Herron 6'2" | OH Celina | 2027 State TX is another big target for her setters to feed. She adds a lot of length and power at the net for this team on the pins. Kamryn Mullican Kamryn Mullican 5'10" | S Hebron | 2027 TX played all the way around also and provided another solid option for this team to score with. There are a lot of options for this team to go far this season. I have a feeling that we have not seen their best work yet and they will be a tough out for anyone.
Houston Skyline 15 Royal
This team is another special top team from this wonderful club. They have a lot of athleticism all around their roster. Jacey Carroll Jacey Carroll 6'0" | MB St. John's | 2027 State TX can unleash a lot of power on the ball whenever she wants to. She can run solid routes at any tempo and gets completely on top of the ball in order to score. Libero Pearson Noone Pearson Noone 5'4" | DS/L Cy Fair | 2027 State TX has total control over every part of her body while playing in the back row. Tinsley Welker-Brown Tinsley Welker-Brown 6'0" | S Fort Bend Austin | 2027 State TX can push the ball to both pins with a lot of power in her upper body. Her shoot sets are very repeatable as she delivers them to her middles. Outside hitter Jordan Morrow Jordan Morrow 5'9" | OH Atascocita | 2027 State TX is one of the best hitters in her age group and shows that with every swing she makes. It doesn’t matter where she is on the court as she will unleash it at any time. Lefty Aspen Brown Aspen Brown 6'0" | RS Shadow Creek | 2027 State TX provides some solid attacking on the right side also. She is a weapon who can contact the ball at the peak of her reach and that makes it hard to slow her down. Setter Olivia Landahl Olivia Landahl 5'8" | S The Woodlands | 2027 TX has a super fast release with the ball, especially to the right side. It is a very special weapon for this team to exploit. I think when this team puts it all together, they will be very difficult to stop in the Open level. Give them a look and you will see what I see from them.
