Audree continues to establish herself as a physically imposing outside hitter in the Texas Class of 2027, bringing size, confidence, and presence to the pin. Standing at 6’1”, she uses her length effectively to score above the block and create problems for opposing defenses. Hughes shows comfort as a go-to option, capable of producing points in rhythm while also handling high-ball situations when plays break down. Her blocking is an area of growing impact, where her reach and improving timing allow her to influence rallies at the net. She competes with purpose in the back row and shows a willingness to round out her all-around game. Competing with Texas Advantage Volleyball club provides her consistent exposure to high-level tempo and physicality, accelerating her development.  We have covered her extensively over the past few years and will continue to do so because of what we think of her potential.  She is a phenomenal young lady with great character and loved by her teammates.  Any school would be very lucky to have her on their roster.  There is no doubt in my mind that she will continue to have another stellar season. 

Miss Hughes has moved up in the State Rankings due to some great achievements.  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 Texas 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. 

Miss Hughes is currently ranked as the 19^th best overall prospect in the 2027 class according to our Texas State Rankings.  She is also listed as the 7^th best left side attacker.  She plays volleyball at Southlake Carroll High School and also for the Texas Advantage Volleyball club.  After watching her compete at the showcase against some of the top competition that the Dallas area has to offer, Audree definitely solidified her position and made a strong case for moving up a few spots.  We will definitely be analyzing the film and watching her during the school season to see where she falls.  During the showcase, routinely she was able to find holes in the defense and power through the block attempt.  With her super long reach and thunderous down swing, it was very difficult for anyone to stop her from scoring.  What I loved even more than her physical skill set was her awesome competitive spirit and nice personality.  She was a true joy for us to have in the gym and her court coaches praised everything about her.  This young lady is a phenomenal volleyball player who should be scooped up by a college soon.  Please help us congratulate her on earning a Top Performer award at our showcase. 

Audree is very well known to us at Prep Dig as she is currently listed as the 19^th best overall player in the class of 2027 Texas State Ranking List.  We love seeing her in the gym with the awesome players that will be battling against each other.  She brings a super competitive spirit and some raw natural power to the entire session that everyone loves.  We have followed her path to greatness for the past couple of seasons and she is coming off of a wonderful showing at nationals where her squad just won the Open national championship.  She will be looking to see if she can improve her ranking and I think that is a very possible outcome considering how much she has improved.  I cannot wait to see her in action and then report out to all of the college coaches who read out articles to help her improve her stock.
