Nevada Prospects Kickoff HS Season with a BANG

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Monday, August 18th the two-time 4A Division State Championship contenders of Legacy HS hosted the Spartans of Cimarron-Memorial HS for their opening home match and neither team wasted any time from the first serve. From the very beginning, these Prep Dig Prospects set out to shake the game up with thunderous attacks and many of them were kicked off by very fundamental backrow passing, skilled ball handling, high number assists &amp; more. Let's look at a few of the ballers that Prep Dig checked out during this match up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["536095"],"_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-68a4a43896d4d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='536095' first='Raelene' last='Miguel'] is an absolute baller that punctuates her personality with consistent play, and she continues to be a tremendous asset for the Longhorns of Legacy HS. Producing 8 kills, 7 digs and 10 service receptions, Raelene made it a point to showcase her ability to move the ball around from zone to zone, maintain effective communication, produce smooth transitions, display great ability to read the defense and find the open floor. Look for this 2026 pin-hitter to be a difference maker in the long haul as the Longhorns look to make a repeat appearance in the state championship. – Anthony Jones (Prep Dig AJ)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":721489,"width":"195px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-medium is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/11/16-Raelene-Miguel.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-721489" style="width:195px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">Prospect Clip</span></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNhfa7LRUme/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linku0026amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"instagram","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNhfa7LRUme/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["542774"],"_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-68a4a43896daa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='542774' first='Ivanna' last='Aparicio'] is a very dependable player on the court, that showcases six-rotation abilities. Not only does she attack with confidence on the pin, but she is also very poised in her service game. Ivanna' pre-serve defensive preparation and readiness give her a great advantage at reading seams and reacting when necessary to keep the ball off the ground. Her passes are directed to the setter's box; she pursues the ball with great effort and this Sophomore hasn't even scratched the surface yet. Ivanna's off-the-court work ethic and training are coming to the surface, and we're excited about what this season will bring. – Anthony Jones (Prep Dig AJ)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":877894,"width":"198px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-medium is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2025/08/Ivanna-Aparicio.jpg?w=258" alt="" class="wp-image-877894" style="width:198px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">Prospect Clip</span></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNhd3IwxXxL/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linku0026amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"instagram","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNhd3IwxXxL/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["707748"],"_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-68a4a43896e14"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='707748' first='Tayla' last='Marie Singleton'] is The Captain, The Leader and one of the Senior experienced players and prospects that the Lady Spartans look to with confidence. Tayla showcases phenomenal read steps, approaches, elevation and attack swings at a host of different angles that lead to loud contact &amp; down-right destructive kills. Using elevation to her advantage, Tayla challenges the opposition without hesitation, and she is a very active defensive presence. This uncommitted 2026 prospect will definitely dominate this season, but she will have an even greater effect at the next level. – Anthony Jones (Prep Dig AJ)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":762885,"width":"201px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-medium is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2025/02/Tayla-Singleton-crop-768x505-1742925397.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-762885" style="width:201px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline">Prospect Clip</span></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNhdlfpRRI-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linku0026amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"instagram","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNhdlfpRRI-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Manaia Williams","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32926","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Legacy High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68a4a43896efb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This 2028 DS/L is making a name for herself, and you need to know who she is, because Manaia Williams of the Legacy Longhorns is determined to aid her team in its long-term success.

Possessing a solid low platform with active pursuits enabled Manaia to get under the ball for quality passes to her setter. Keep your eyes and ears open for this baller's name. – Anthony Jones (Prep Dig AJ)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">TEAMS</span></strong></td><td><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">SET 1</span></strong></td><td><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">SET 2</span></strong></td><td><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">SET 3</span></strong></td><td><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">WINNER</span></strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Legacy Longhorns</strong></td><td>28</td><td>25</td><td>25</td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Cimarron-Memorial Spartans</strong></td><td>26</td><td>20</td><td>17</td><td>0</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Additional players to keep your eyes on that'll lift these squads up through the season, while having a great effect on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Legacy HS</strong> - 2027 MH/Oppo, Hannah Valoaga / 2028 DS/L, [player_tooltip player_id='800292' first='Ava' last='Alvaro'] / 2028 MH, Taylor Mcfadden</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cimarron-Memorial HS</strong> - 2029 MB, Khaliyah Yarber / 2027 MB, Jasmine Ponce</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">!!!
