Dallas Freshman Showcase – Top Performers Vol 3

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Who are the best freshmen volleyball players in Texas?&nbsp; We definitely saw some players who wanted that title over the weekend at our Freshman Showcases. &nbsp;The second session was held on Sunday July 28^th at the Courtside Sports Center facility in Carrollton, TX. &nbsp;The one aspect that sets our showcases apart from every other one in the country is how we offer coverage, before, during, and after it is completed.&nbsp; This series of articles will discuss those special players that stood out for various reasons to our court coaches and scouts.&nbsp; They have won our prestigious Top Performer award.&nbsp; Let's meet the winners!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='540460' first='Kate' last='Clegg'] [2028] 5-11 Right Side (HS: Walnut Grove/Club: [program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='Madfrog' last='']/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kate is currently an unranked prospect in the 2028 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but that is only because we have not released them yet.&nbsp; She plays volleyball at Walnut Grove High School and plays for the [program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='Madfrog' last=''] club volleyball program. &nbsp;Miss Clegg can flat out ball.&nbsp; It was very nice to see such a talented player dominate on both sides of the ball.&nbsp; Her blocking is astounding out of the opposite position.&nbsp; She was not afraid to go up against any attacker and battled very well.&nbsp; I really loved her impeccable timing and how she reaches over the net nicely to seal it away from would-be scorers.&nbsp; As an attacker, she was very physical and scored both with hard driven shots and timely shots.&nbsp; When the blockers give her an inch of space, she attacks with a violent swing that is hard to slow down.&nbsp; Some players were just born to play this wonderful sport and Kate is one of those phenoms.&nbsp; Blessed with an electric arm swing and court vision of a seasoned veteran, she will be a tough out for anyone that tries to stop her.&nbsp; If you don't know who she is yet, give it some time…you will very soon.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='569814' first='Zoila' last='Luna'] [2028] 5-6 Outside (HS: Nolan Catholic/Club: [program_tooltip program_id='431321' first='Texas' last='Image']/Verbal: Uncommitted) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zoila is currently an unranked prospect in the 2028 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but that is only because we have not released them yet.&nbsp;

What I saw from her was a player who would do anything to help her team win without question.&nbsp; I loved her heart and determination that she showed during the two hours.&nbsp; It didn't matter what position she was asked to play, she did it with control and focus.&nbsp; When there weren't enough middles to play, she kindly stepped in and gave it her all.&nbsp; I also loved how her solid hand contact allowed her to control her attack and keep the rally alive for her team even during out of system plays.&nbsp; We are very proud that she proved herself and earned every bit of this award with her production on the court.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award at the showcase.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='575147' first='Stella' last='Sanford']&nbsp;[2028] 5-3 Setter (HS: Frisco Wakeland/Club: [program_tooltip program_id='431308' first='Texas' last='Advantage']/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stella is currently an unranked prospect in the 2028 class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but that is only because we have not released them yet.&nbsp; She plays volleyball at Frisco Wakeland High School and also for the [program_tooltip program_id='431308' first='Texas' last='Advantage'] Volleyball club program. &nbsp;Miss Sanford shows a lot of poise for a young setter and looks like a veteran with the way she moves the ball around.&nbsp; Her focus is strong and she knows how to run an offense at a high level.&nbsp; I love how she was jump setting and keeping the defense off-balance.&nbsp; Her leadership and attitude are two things that made her stand out very well on her court.&nbsp; As a leader, she was getting very excited for everyone despite not knowing many players on her court.&nbsp; This tells me all I need to know about her as a volleyball player and teammate.&nbsp; We will be keeping our eye on her and you should also. &nbsp;Please help us congratulate her on earning the Top Performer award for this showcase.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes that excelled at the showcase.&nbsp;
