<p>Haylee is currently an unranked prospect in the 2027 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but is on our official Watch List. She plays volleyball at Walnut Grove High School and for the Excel club program. Miss Claypoole is someone who always shows well because she can do so much on the court for any team she plays for. During the showcase she was able to produce in multiple aspects of the game. Last year I was introduced to her during our freshman showcase and she earned a top performer award then. It was nice to see that she hasn't slowed down at all and won some more high praise from her court coaches one year later. After watching the video and discussing the notes with her court coaches, her setting was on point throughout the entire two hours. We are always watching for setters who can paint the target over and over again and that is exactly what Miss Claypoole was doing. She moved the ball around very well to all of her hitters pretty evenly which kept the defense off-balance. I am very eager to watching her progress during the high school season but in the meantime, please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award for this showcase. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='534312' first='Lola' last='Peters'] [2027] 6-1 Setter/Right Side (HS: Plano West/Club: [program_tooltip program_id='475085' first='1United' last='']/Verbal: Uncommitted) </strong></p>

<p>Lola is currently ranked as the 15<sup>th</sup> best overall prospect in the 2027 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings. She plays volleyball at Plano West High School and club for the [program_tooltip program_id='475085' first='1United' last=''] volleyball program. Miss Peters burst onto the scene this past club season and earned her spot in our rankings. I was very excited to see her enrolled at our showcase so that we could see her in action against some top competition in person again. She definitely stole the show and was one of the best setters in attendance. The best part of her play is how dynamic she is at both hitting and setting. Being a lefty, she is a college coach's dream prospect. This young lady will be a problem for any team she goes up against because she is a match up nightmare for everyone. She is definitely the type of player that you need to keep track of and watch for how her team is using her. I strongly encourage any and all college coaches to give her a few looks as she is someone who will make you take notice when you see her awesome skills in action. Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award at the showcase. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='506412' first='Toree' last='Rayford'] [2027] 5-11 Right Side (HS: Timber Creek Keller/Club: [program_tooltip program_id='510733' first='Drive' last='Nation']/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p>

<p>Toree is currently an unranked prospect in the 2027 class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but turned my head to add her to our watch list soon. She plays volleyball at Timber Creek Keller High School and also for the [program_tooltip program_id='510733' first='Drive' last='Nation'] volleyball club program. Miss Rayford was a true joy to watch in action during the showcase. She showed some awesome high-level skills as a blocker and attacker on the top courts. Her play was very athletic and sharp. There were quite a few times where I stopped and stayed by her court because of what I saw from her production. This kid is full of fire and gives her team a ton of energy. I love how she is able to move the ball around and score in a variety of ways around the block. She is not a one-trick pony and this is awesome to have on the right side. Not only was she formidable on the court, but she had such an amazing attitude working with our scouts, coaches and videographer. This is exactly the type of player who can give so much to a team by her presence on and off the court. She deserves a few looks by college scouts. Please help us congratulate her on earning the Top Performer award for this showcase. </p>
