She crushes head-top shots down the line and brings heat with every swing. A true six-rotation threat, she played a huge role in her team's run to the 5A state finals. On top of that, she's a multi-sport athlete, which only adds to her overall athleticism. She's a pure competitor—and she's only going up from here. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["528417"],"_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-684e324891d1a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aliana is straight-up explosive! You can see all the hard work and training pay off the second she hits the court. With big swings, high energy, and consistent play, she's the kind of athlete you can count on to compete at a high level for the entire match.<br>She brings serious power, has elite serve receive, and played a major role in nationally ranked Bishop Gorman's 2024 state championship run. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["543127"],"_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-684e324891d87"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Piper is a strong, reliable hitter who can swing through or around the block easily and consistently. She was a huge part of her high school team's state championship win and can score from anywhere—front or back row. She has a great approach that maximizes her attacking capabilities and is an asset in all six rotations.&nbsp;--Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["537696"],"_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-684e324891dee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kennedy was already good last season, but over the past year, she's proven her commitment to getting better every time she steps on the court. She's a key piece on her club team and has one of the cleanest arm swings you'll see. Her hip rotation adds serious power, and her line shot is lethal. She's capable of playing all six rotations with efficiency and is poised for a strong junior season. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["536861"],"_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-684e324891e50"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tori consistently makes solid, high contact with the ball and can hit right over the block. Blocking is one of her biggest strengths, and she's just as dangerous attacking from the right side. Overpasses don't stand a chance with her at the net. Most recently, Tori helped her team earn a bid to USAV Nationals—a huge accomplishment that reflects the talent and impact she brings to the court every match. -- Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Full List of Top 2027 Outside Hitters</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='532710' first='Lily' last='Beckwith']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='528417' first='Aliana' last='Breitling']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='543127' first='Piper' last='Kennedy']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='537696' first='Kennedy' last='Cope']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='536861' first='Tori' last='Castro']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='721981' first='Iyanna' last='Riley']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='543920' first='Presley' last='Hartstrom']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='535990' first='Kianna' last='Maiava']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='603845' first='Phynix' last='Hall-Faatuai']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='719023' first='Madison' last='Slater']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='532708' first='Giovanelis' last='Ortega']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='550903' first='Ava' last='DeCaires']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='735359' first='Emma' last='Sanders']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='543169' first='Grace' last='Gonsalves']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='759906' first='Haleigh' last='Aceves']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='743310' first='Kaylah' last='M Latu']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='543122' first='Audrianne' last='Bernard']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='573493' first='Arial' last='Fox']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Olivia Roberts</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='528259' first='Emagin' last='Stutzman']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='735362' first='Megan' last='Carr']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='644555' first='Mercer' last='Edlund']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='750635' first='Yariana' last='Dixon']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='735364' first='Khloe' last='Montes']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Boost your exposure with Prep Dig Nevada</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Follow/Tag/Collab with us on Instagram&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/prepdignv?igsh=MWNqc3lrc2huZzZxcA%3D%3D&amp;utm_source=qr"><strong>@prepdignv</strong></a>&nbsp;</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Claim your FREE PrepDig player profile&nbsp;<a href="https://prepdig.com/prospect-index/">here</a>.&nbsp;</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Attend an upcoming showcase – June 21, 2025 (<strong><a href="https://prepdig.com/events/?type=Showcase">prepdig.com/events</a>)</strong>&nbsp;– Use code: Bryant-MillerDig2025 for a discount</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
