She is now currently ranked as the 17^th best overall player according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.  She plays at Southlake Carroll High School and for the [program_tooltip program_id='431308' first='Texas' last='Advantage'] Volleyball club program.  The six foot two pin can flat out thump the ball with authority.  This past club season, she really flexed her muscles and moved the ball around by scoring on both pins.  She was one big reason why her squad won an open division national championship.  When she plans two swing hard, the defense better have their heels dug in and the blockers better tighten their abs while they press, otherwise she will eat them up.  Her swing can be categorized as violent and it comes at you very fast.  We have had the opportunity to meet her at our showcase events and she is a joy to work with.  We are very proud to have her in the top 17.  Please help us congratulate her on moving up the State Ranking List. </p> <!--

as the 24^th best overall player according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.  She plays for Lake Highlands High School and plays for the Dallas Skyline volleyball club program.  What makes Parker stand out is how she uses some great court vision in the middle position.  Not only does she run multiple routes for her squads, but she is able to see the block and holes in the defense on the opposing side before she swings in order to exploit them and score more easily.  Her tip to zone four during a fifty-one set is a kill every time as she is able to read the left back player being out of position.  Overpasses disappear quickly when she is in the front row due to her speed and timing.  There are times when it looks like she isn't moving fast with her footwork, but then an explosion happens with her jump and swing.  She really understands how to swing sharp angles versus the block and scores with tools very easily.  We think she has tons of potential to play at the next level.  Please help us congratulate her on moving up in our prestigious State Rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

currently ranked as the 54^th best overall player according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.  She plays volleyball for Tomball High School and also plays for the [program_tooltip program_id='431166' first='Houston' last='Juniors'] volleyball club program.  There are many reasons why we think she is the fifth best libero in her grad class.  One of those reasons is how she has impeccable posture throughout her movement to the ball, during contact and after while covering.  The discipline she shows by keeping her shoulders low has her Arkansas Razorback future coaches salivating at the opportunity to have her on their roster already.  This young lady is super fast as she tracks down serves and attacks.  She has a real nose for the ball and racks up digs in bunches in every match.  With her behind you covering, you can swing with confidence knowing that she has the fast-twitch muscles to react and keep the ball from falling to the floor if you get blocked.  The sky is the limit for this youngster and her stock continues to rise. Please help us congratulate her on moving up in our prestigious State Rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always 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 retweeting on Twitter or sharing on Facebook.  Thanks for following us, Prep Dig Texas Family!  Don't be afraid to interact with us.  We love the likes, shares, and quotes/comments.  Keep them coming!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
