<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The State Rankings update is here!!! We have added 15 new players in this update and tons have made some serious moves bettering their stock.  We have been watching the 2025 class very closely throughout the entire high school and club season.  A lot of the analysis has come from watching these players in person and also by watching the amazing footage that has been uploaded to everyone's recruiting profiles.  We have been talking to a lot of coaches across the country and this class is littered with college prospects.  The following players showed us all that they deserved to be listed in the rankings due to their individual performances. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Please officially welcome Miss Morales to the State Rankings.  She is currently ranked as the 69<sup>th</sup> best overall player according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.  She plays at Menlo-Atherton High School and for the Vision volleyball club program.  Miss Morales is a stud who has always been on our radar since we were introduced to her while watching her club team dominate.  The two-sport stud also shines on the soccer pitch for her high school program.  There is no doubt that she uses the footwork from soccer while playing the middle position.  While changing direction during defensive transition, that awesome footwork comes into play very well.  We also see it as she runs many routes with precision and quickness.  What I also love when I watch her play the position is how active she is at the net on both offense and defense.  She runs a very fast slide and swings violently at the defense each attempt.  When I was evaluating all of the middles on the list of potential additions, Siena kept showcasing that she deserved to be added for sure with her production.  Please help us congratulate her on her achievement of being listed amongst the great players of this state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Please officially welcome Rachel to the State Rankings.  She is currently ranked as the 77<sup>th</sup> best overall player according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.  She plays for Liberty Ranch High School and also the Omni club program.  Miss Smith has tons of size and some great technique to back it up at the net.  This young lady is a load to deal with if you are an opposing defender.  Not only does she contact the ball at a very high point above the net, but she has some immense power on her down swing that adds a lot of pace into the ball after it rebounds off of her hand.  The best aspect of her play is that she can be a lethal middle scorer and a shut down blocker on the right side.  When she swings out of the middle, she does such a fantastic job of cutting the ball around the opposing block and sending the ball to the corners so she doesn't get blocked.  Rachel is having a great season offensively as her setter keeps feeding her the ball for a good reason.  There was no question when it came to adding her to the official list.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot in our prestigious State Rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Please officially welcome Miss Ponchak to the State Rankings.  She is currently ranked as the 81<sup>st</sup> best overall player according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.  She plays for Huntington Beach High School and also plays sand volleyball for Spiker Beach.  Taylor is one of those awesome players who utilizes their athleticism in many ways when they play the game.  When she takes an approach to swing, she has one thing in mind…KILL the ball with authority!  It is almost like she has a huge grudge with the ball and just wants to hit it as hard as she possibly can.  This young lady takes one of the most violent swings I have ever seen in an attacker.  During this high school season, she has been a very prolific scorer but she has recently chosen to play college volleyball on the sand for Stanford next year.  The two-sport stud shines in outdoor volleyball and there is no doubt that it has helped her be super explosive during indoor.  Her overall ball control is one main reason why we chose her to add to this prestigious list of ballers.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot in our California State Rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always stay
