Those Whose Stock Climbed in the Class of 2026

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are players whose stock rose since our last ranking. One of the things I look at for rankings are teams that are having success, i.e. winning tournaments. After that you look at the players who are responsible for that success. This year the top three clubs in the Chesapeake Region in the 16U age group are Metro (18), [program_tooltip program_id='494409' first='Blue' last='Ridge'] (38) and [program_tooltip program_id='476729' first='Paramount' last=''] (155), with their national ranking in parenthesis. The top clubs in the Old Dominion Region in the 16U age group are [program_tooltip program_id='489547' first='540' last='Volleyball Academy'] (89) and [program_tooltip program_id='498495' first='Richmond' last='Volleyball Club'] (110). The one disclaimer for [program_tooltip program_id='498495' first='Richmond' last='Volleyball Club'] is they have five players from that 16 U team who belong in the class of 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["325603"],"_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":"Parker jumped up only three spots but when you are already in the top 10 the ceiling sits pretty low.  In my opinion she may be one of the better blockers in the DMV at this age group.  She covers a lot of net with her blocks and now lists at 6'3u0022.  Her jump could use some improvement (9'1u0022 block jump) but she brings to the net wide shoulders that cover a lot of area.  She also brings a good attitude to the court, a openness to improve her game.  That is one of the reasons she commutes from West Virginia to Manassas, Virginia to play for [program_tooltip program_id='476729' first='Paramount' last=''].  She wants to play against the best.  She also brings a strong offensive game to the middle with a kill percentage approaching 30 percent.  Parker climbed from 10 to 7 in our class of 2026 rankings.  Only [player_tooltip player_id='238341' first='Teodora' last='Stamenkovic'] of Metro ranks higher than Parker among middle hitters.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-661d7f959c5df"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='238850' first='Sydney' last='Bennett'] middle (Patriot/Virginia Jrs) - Another middle who only climbed up three rankings, from number 15 to 12.
