She is currently ranked as the No. 19 overall player in the 2029 grad class. Naomi is a 6'0” pin who is able to play both right side and left side at Salado High School and competes for Austin Juniors Volleyball Club. She is one of those versatile attackers who can impact the match from multiple positions along the net, giving her coaches a ton of flexibility with lineup options. What stands out immediately is her physical presence and ability to score with power from either pin. She does a great job of staying balanced in her approach and using her length to contact the ball at a high point, making it difficult for blockers to slow her down. Primarily playing on the right side this club season, she brings a confident and aggressive mindset that translates into consistent production. Her ability to switch roles seamlessly without losing effectiveness is a huge asset for her team. Naomi continues to show that she can be relied upon in big moments and against top competition. With her size, versatility, and scoring ability, she is a player that will continue to trend upward. Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot among the top players in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["952579"],"_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-69c59dd5a642e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Please welcome [player_tooltip player_id='952579' first='Grace' last='Hengler'] to the Prep Dig Texas State Ranking List. She is currently ranked as the No. 20 overall player in the 2029 grad class. Miss Hengler is a 5'8” outside hitter, who is also listed as a libero, playing at Coram Deo High School and competing for MadFrog Volleyball Club. She has absolutely burst onto the scene this year and turned heads across the state with her high level production against much taller competition. Not only is she holding her own, but she is thriving while playing up an age group with a 16s team as a true six rotation outside hitter. That alone speaks volumes about her skill set, confidence, and competitive drive. Grace is one of those special players who proves that heart, skill, and determination can outweigh size in this sport. She attacks with great timing and uses her athleticism and court awareness to find ways to score against bigger blocks. In the back row, her ball control and defensive instincts allow her to stay on the court and contribute in every rotation. She brings energy, toughness, and a fearless mentality that elevates her entire team. Grace is rewriting the narrative and showing that elite players come in all sizes. Please help us congratulate her on earning this well deserved recognition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["952580"],"_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-69c59dd5a64c2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Please welcome [player_tooltip player_id='952580' first='Alexa' last='Koonsen'] to the Prep Dig Texas State Ranking List.
