A lot of the analysis has come from watching these players in person and also by watching the amazing footage that has been uploaded to everyone's recruiting profiles. We have been talking to a lot of coaches across the country and this class is littered with college prospects.

<p>Please officially welcome Miss Evens to the State Rankings. Maya is currently ranked as the 7<sup>th</sup> best overall prospect and top libero in the Prep Dig California State Rankings for the class of 2025. She plays at Cathedral Catholic High School and club for the nationally recognized Wave volleyball program. There are some legit ball control specialists in this wonderful state and they all have some amazing skills. When it came to ranking them, one name kept coming up to the top of the list and that was [player_tooltip player_id='366679' first='Maya' last='Evens']. There is a reason she is playing up an age group at a national powerhouse in the Open Level. I have had the opportunity to watch her perform against other open level competition at a few national tournaments this season and she has done an amazing job at selling herself. As a libero, her squad relies on her to keep the first ball contact in system and she does a fantastic job at it. I love how the ball rebounds off of her platform so smoothly. She is always balanced both during movement and during contact of the ball. Every young libero should be watching how competitive she is on the court. She is the type of player you would want with you if your team was going to war. She will battle all day long because you can tell that she just loves the game. If they did, they would learn so much. Please help us congratulate her on earning the top libero spot in our State Rankings. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='366834' first='Keila' last='Gabriel'] [2025] 6-3 Right Side (HS: Del Norte/Club: Wave/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Please welcome Keila to the prestigious State Rankings. Miss Gabriel is currently ranked as the 8<sup>th</sup> best overall prospect and the best right side in the 2025 Class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings. She plays for Del Norte High School and also for the Wave volleyball club. This lengthy lefty has a cannon for a left arm and knows how to use it. She takes a very picturesque approach that should be appreciated by all. Her athleticism is out of this world and she should be scooped up by a school soon. If I were you, I would write her name down and add her into my short list of players to watch now. As a blocker, her long arms penetrate the net very well to seal it away from opposing attackers. She can swing block or use traditional footwork to set the pin block. I like how she also tracks the ball and comes inside early to slow down the position set from opposing left sides and middles who come into the zone. She is the type of attacker who can score well by cutting a sharp angle around the block. Any team would love such a point scoring threat to take the pressure off of their left side attackers. A player like Keila allows the setter to spread the offense out and keep the opposing blockers moving laterally to tire them out. Please help us congratulate Miss Gabriel on earning the top right side spot in our State Rankings. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='366678' first='Isabella' last='Ehrlich'] [2025] 6-2 Middle (HS: Carondelet/Club: Absolute/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>Please welcome Miss Ehrlich officially to the State Rankings. Isabella is currently ranked as the 9<sup>th</sup> best overall prospect and 2<sup>nd</sup> best middle in the 2025 Class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings. She plays for Carondelet High School and also for the Absolute volleyball club out of the Northern California region. There are some great middles in this grad class and not many play more physical than Miss Ehrlich. She covers a lot of ground fast laterally along the net due to those long legs of hers. She pushes off of her outside foot really well to create momentum during that lateral movement to close the block. Bella is a stand out in the position and can score kills in a hurry to fill up the stat book. The main reason we are very high on her is because she is a true shut down blocker who excels at the highest level possible. She first uses great court vision which allows her to watch the path of the ball and the setter's posture to determine where to close the block. Then she presses extremely well along the net and either stuffs the opponent or forces them to hit around her right to her defenders who are playing behind her. We are very proud to have her listed in our state rankings and hope you help us congratulate her on earning the spot. </p>
