Tour of Texas Stop #2 Top Performers Vol 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The conclusion of one of the biggest series of tournaments in the state of Texas happened over the weekend.  The level of talent on the courts was phenomenal once again during the second stop in Austin.  This series will be a mixture of positions who played amazing when we watched their respective matches.  Let's take a look at who stood out and earned our Top Performer award for their individual play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jenna is currently ranked as the 69^th best overall prospect in the 2026 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.  She plays volleyball at Dawson High School and plays club for the [program_tooltip program_id='510661' first='Houston' last='Skyline'] volleyball program.  The way that Miss Thedford commanded the court in the back row was phenomenal.  In serve receive she is fully capable of covering twenty feet by herself if need be.  That is how fast her footwork is while tracking the ball.  The way that she is able to contort her body when the ball is served to her left or right is awesome.  She lunges out and is able to create solid angles with her platform all while still falling to her side.  The best part of her doing this is how she is still able to not only create an angle, but absorb the contact of the strong serve and keep it on her side of the court.  That is not an easy thing to do for normal players.  There is no doubt in my mind that this young lady can not only play volleyball at the highest level possible in college, but can change a program.  Her grit and tenacity in pursuing the ball is contagious and also so much fun to watch.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award from us for her play during the tournament. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.  She plays volleyball at Southwest Christian High School and plays club for the [program_tooltip program_id='510733' first='Drive' last='Nation'] volleyball program.  Being on a high level team is not for the weak-minded player.  Miss Flowers has truly come into her own lately and has established herself as a player to watch.  Her ability to drive her feet into the ground hard while transitioning from defense to offense helps her to hit the ball at such a fast tempo.  I saw her obliterate a few quick attacks that no one even touched.  Her raw power mixed with her foot speed is a deadly combination that college coaches will fall in love with.  Not only is she dominant at the net, but her defense might be even better.  She is what we call a shut down blocker at the net and presses over as good as any player in the country.  If you have not seen her play, I strongly suggest you give her a look or two.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award from us for her play during the tournament. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.  She plays volleyball at Sotomayor High School and plays club for the [program_tooltip program_id='431254' first='San' last='Antonio Juniors'] volleyball program.  Miss Barrera has really been a solid contributor on the offensive side for her squad this season.  When I watched her team compete at this weekend's tourney she really stood out for her shot making ability.  There were many times in the game that she did not hit the same shot twice in a row during rallies.  This is super important as an attacker because it keeps the defense constantly guessing on where and how she will deliver the ball.  By “being in her bag” so much while swinging on the left side, it keeps her scoring pretty efficient.  One attack that I loved was when she takes a big approach on the left, stays open to her setter while in the air, and hits across her body while the blockers are lined up for a cross-court shot. Every time she used this shot, it was able to score or get the opposing team out of system.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award from us for her play during the tournament. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> Stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes.  If you have anyone you think we should watch out for, please shoot me an email with some info at <a href="mailto:Michael@prepdig.com">Michael@prepdig.com</a>.  Also don't forget to help these kids get more exposure by sharing our stories with your friends.  Help us help them by simply reposting on X or Instagram or sharing on Facebook.  Thanks for following Prep Dig Family!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
