<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The conclusion of one of the biggest series of tournaments in the state of Texas happened over the weekend.&nbsp; The level of talent on the courts was phenomenal once again during the second stop in Austin.&nbsp; This series will be a mixture of positions who played amazing when we watched their respective matches.&nbsp; Let's take a look at who stood out and earned our Top Performer award for their individual play.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["534309"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67a5516c99370"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lucy is currently ranked as the 12^th best overall prospect in the 2027 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.&nbsp; She plays volleyball at Lake Highlands High School and plays club for the Dallas Skyline volleyball program. &nbsp;I was absolutely amazed at the level of defense that was being played at the net by Miss Holmes during one of the matches I saw from her squad.&nbsp; She was like the Great Wall slowing down all left sides that tried to score against her.&nbsp; There were times where she would block the left side over and over during a rally.&nbsp; I am not sure why the opposing setter kept trying to go against her with how high of a level her blocking was.&nbsp; We have her highly ranked in our database and she is proving us right in every match.&nbsp; I love how she ties the hitter perfectly so that she is pressing over just as the hitter has made contact with the ball.&nbsp; What makes her blocking form even better is how her head is leaning forward during her block which helps her to not create any space between her and the net.&nbsp; If her head were to lean back, it would cause her shoulders to lean away from the net as well.&nbsp; This tells me that he has been coached very well and she is disciplined in her technique.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award from us for her play during the tournament.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["443114"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67a5516c993da"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Avery is currently an unranked prospect in the 2026 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but is listed on our official Watch List.&nbsp; She plays volleyball at Kingwood High School and plays club for the [program_tooltip program_id='431337' first='Texas' last='Tornados'] volleyball program.&nbsp; I watched Miss Brown's team play for a match and I was thoroughly impressed with her production.&nbsp; You could see her laser focused determination as she set up in her wide stance at her defensive base awaiting the opposing setter to deliver the ball.&nbsp; What stood out to me the most was how she used her jump set to deliver the ball to each location.&nbsp; I thought the ball came out of her hands very smoothly to her pins and she was very precise with her location.&nbsp; Even when her team was out of system, she tracked the ball down well and used her platform to deliver pinpoint accurate sets for her attackers.&nbsp; She has the frame that college coaches will fall in love with and the power to push the ball to any location.&nbsp; We will keep our eye on her.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award from us for her play during the tournament.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["443017"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67a5516c99425"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Delaney is currently ranked as the 32^nd best overall prospect in the 2027 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings and is rising very fast.  She plays volleyball at Montgomery High School and plays club for the TAV Houston volleyball program.  Sometimes when you watch a match, certain players just make you shake your head in amazement.  That is exactly what happens when I watch Miss Wright ball out.  When the ball is set perfectly, she can be unstoppable at times.  When the ball is set out of system, most think she won't be able to swing with power, however most also don't notice what she does with her footwork.  By reading the play and seeing where the second ball is going to be set from, Delaney does such a great job of getting to a much deeper touch point to allow herself room to operate her approach.  This allows her tons of space to adjust to in order to keep the ball in an optimum position to still crank on.  And boy does she explode onto the ball with amazing force.  She is just one of those outside hitters who can change the game for a squad.  I strongly encourage all college coaches to check her out.  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.&nbsp;
