The Future is Here - Houston Juniors 15 Elite

Who do you need to know in the 15's age group this year? We are going to tell you in this awesome series that highlights each of the teams to watch in this star-studded class. Next up is the team who showed a lot of heart as they proved that they belong in the conversation of the best teams in the Invitational division of the Tour of Texas Stop #1, [program_tooltip program_id='431166' first='Houston' last='Juniors'] 15 Elite. There are some serious studs that college coaches need to see this season and add them to their short list of athletes to watch. We will highlight a few of their players who stood out to us while we watched them compete.    Sade is currently an unranked prospect in the 2028 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but that is only because I have not released them yet. She plays volleyball at Cy Ranch High School and plays club for the [program_tooltip program_id='431166' first='Houston' last='Juniors'] volleyball program. When you watch this young lady play you see someone who is hungry and not afraid of the limelight. I loved her confidence and how electric she was in every aspect of the game. They don't take her out as she plays all six rotations with ease. She is so dynamic that they actually look to her to run some play sets out of serve receive when she is in the back row and during defensive transition. This tells me that the entire team truly believes in her ability to be a scoring threat for them. I also loved how she was eager to play back row defense and pass. I saw some great laser focus in her eyes as she eagerly anticipated the ball. [program_tooltip program_id='431166' first='Houston' last='Juniors'] as a club is known for having some very dynamic and high flying left side pins that go on to do great things in the sport and I will put any money on the fact that Miss Bello is the next great one to come out of their program. We think she has a ton of potential in the sport and will garner a lot of interest as she progresses in her craft.     Macie is currently an unranked prospect in the 2028 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but that is only because I have not released them yet. She plays volleyball at St. Johns High School and plays club for the [program_tooltip program_id='431166' first='Houston' last='Juniors'] volleyball program. There is a lot to like about Miss Chase's game. She is a taller setter who can easily play all the way around and never come off of the court due to her being able to battle opposing hitters at the net. HJV uses her in a 5-1 quite a bit and she rises to the challenge each time. Her fast footwork allow her to move about the court with ease and be able to track down every pass with great posture. By using her in a 5-1 offense, this allows for there to be no breakdown with timing for each hitter as they have some consistency with the delivery of the ball. Macie also uses her jump set well and creates a lot of one on ones or splits in the block by being a threat to send the ball over on two contacts. As she continues to improve her game and move the ball around to her middles, she will definitely have college coaches writing her name down on their lists.     Madison is currently an unranked prospect in the 2028 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but that is only because I have not released them yet. She plays volleyball at Ridge Point High School and plays club for the [program_tooltip program_id='431166' first='Houston' last='Juniors'] volleyball program. Miss Jinks brings ton of heat with her offensive output. This young fire-baller is able to generate a ton of power with her swing by using a lot of torque with her body. When she is in the air, she really opens up her right shoulder and then whips it around to gain some extra pop on the ball. Armed with tons of balance in her lower body as well, she is a great passer out of serve receive and adds a lot to keeping the team in system. The fact that she is a complete outside hitter with great shots while attacking and solid ball control in the back row will keep her on our watch list for the foreseeable future. I strongly advise all college coaches to take a look as well and you will see what I see. Stay tuned for more from Miss Jinks.    A couple of their players have graced out articles recently and they have other stars that should be mentioned for their contributions. The three-headed monster of middles are full of promise on this squad. Middle [player_tooltip player_id='745042' first='Elsa' last='St Rose'] is extremely technically sound. Middle Nlonna Okwura is menacing as she stands at the net covering a lot of ground and taking away a lot of space from would-be point scorers. Another middle who stands very tall and provides a lot of power for this team is Zackavaia Scott. She can really bring some heat on offense and is a wall on defense at the net. Right side Isabella Gomez showed me tons while blocking at the net against open level outsides. She is a big key for this team's overall defense.
