Class of 2025 State Rankings Players to Know: Right Sides

The Prep Dig Texas State Rankings were updated last month in a moment that was long expected for volleyball prospects in the Lone Star State.   More than moving players up and down in a list, the rankings update offers us an opportunity to paint a more realistic picture of the current scenario in Texas and highlight the prospects who experienced significant development over the last few months.   The process of updating the rankings also gives us, Prep Dig scouts, the perfect excuse to learn more and more about the players, be it by attending matches or tournaments in person or researching online, and now with the list released, it's time we share some of our findings.   Over the last few weeks, I've been going over the rankings, highlighting some players in each class. With the Classes of 2027 and 2026 already covered, we've now been looking into the 2025s. In the last piece of the series, our focus will be on the right sides.    Hughes stars for Alamo 17 Premier and for the star-studded Cornerstone Christian high school team and appears as the second-best player in her position and 28th overall in our State Rankings. A lefty with incredible resources, there's no shot she can't hit from the right and that gives her a considerable edge over opposing blockers and defenders. Hughes uses her length extremely well and is also capable of putting a lot of power into her swings. Her blocking is another big part of her game as she times her jumps well and makes aggressive moves with her arms above the net to stop opponents.      The third-best right side in the Class of 2025 and 39th overall player in the age group, Steffe features for Memorial High School and the [program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='Madfrog' last=''] 17 National Green team. If most of the players in the position are typically specialists at hitting and blocking, Steffe is much more than that as her well-rounded game allows her to play and play defense at a high level too. Because of that, she can play at a high level on the left too, contributing to the team's serve-receive system and making plays on defense. She's also a solid server, who is more than capable of getting opponents out of system.      The right side hitter for Liberty Christian High School and the Dallas Skyline 17 Royal team, Salfiti is ranked sixth among the players in the position and 69th overall in the state. A lefty with good length and nice firepower, she does an excellent job of putting the ball down on the right. One of the keys to Salfiti's offensive efficiency is her understanding of the game and her ability to switch pace, picking between hard-driven swings and well-placed tips with great intelligence. Her long arms and good jumping ability also make of her a solid blocker, who gets off the floor well and is always in good balance to make plays above the net,      Cisneros is the eighth-best right side in Texas and the 76th-best overall prospect in the state according to our rankings - she plays for Colleyville Heritage High School and [program_tooltip program_id='510733' first='Drive' last='Nation'] 17-1 Red. Cisneros is physical and has a heavy right arm, which she uses to bounce balls. She's been playing in the middle more often recently and her excellent blocking and timing at the net make of her an excellent fit for the position. She can also hit from the middle, the left and the right at a high rate and that gives her team some nice versatility.      A member of our Class of 2025 State Rankings Watchlist, Morton plays for private powerhouse Fort Bend Christian High School and club for [program_tooltip program_id='538544' first='Katy' last='United'] 17 Adidas. Very long and explosive, she's typically among the top offensive weapons of her team and delivers well, scoring with consistency. Morton is extremely versatile too and has played on the right, the left and the middle over the last couple of years. Blocking is another big part of her game as she gets off the floor well and puts her arms in the way of opposing hitters to get stops.
