The 5’11” prospect is ‘officially’ a middle blocker but hits from everywhere on the net, giving her team a great deal of flexibility to run plays. Regardless if she’s on the left, right or in the middle, Lohnes brings a lot of explosiveness and efficiency to the team’s offense due to her great reach and heavy arm. She ranks 125<sup>th</sup> on our 2022 Prep Dig State Rankings.</p> <p><iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13085806/60904e5c1762a50c444c81d1" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Taylor Glendening – Middle Blocker – HS: Fort Bend Travis – 2022</strong></p> <p>Taylor Glendening makes a big impact at the net with her 6’2” frame. She towers most of her opponents and uses her size and long arms to outplay those looking to challenge her at the net. She hits a really quick set in the middle and her tremendous reach makes it really difficult to stop her. She tallied 258 kills and 99 blocks in three seasons of high school volleyball for Fort Bend Travis.</p> <p><iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/12175956/60904e5b1762a50c444c81b4" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Caroline Coyle – Libero – HS: College Station – 2020</strong></p> <p>Carolina Coyle is the wheel that makes Skyline 17 White tick on a volleyball court. Her hard-working game on the backcourt is instrumental to the team’s success as she not only avoid points but also initiates a few of her own with her great passing and defensive ability. Coyle’s great technique stands out to anyone watching her play but perhaps her most interesting skill is her ability to anticipate plays. She registered 134 digs and 152 passes in her last high school season with College Station.</p> <p><iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13088540/60a3cab8f31cf60cd47833e1" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
