<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The State Rankings update is here!!! While it was tough, we have made some serious moves with players bettering their stock. The 2027 class is working very hard at their craft and we have noticed it.  This series of articles is geared toward those players who were rewarded for their hard work.  The following players showed us all that they deserved to be moved up in the rankings due to their individual performances. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miss Richard has moved up in the State Rankings due to some great achievements.  She is now currently ranked as the 25<sup>th</sup> best overall player and 6<sup>th</sup> best setter according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.  She plays at Legacy Christian High School and for the MadFrog volleyball club program. Dakota is constantly working at her craft and has shown us that she deserves the recognition her hard work.  This past club season she helped to lead her squad to an Open division National Championship through tons of grit and determination to not let any adversity affect her game.  She was stellar in how she distributed the ball to all of her attackers and also how she tracked down every pass and dig from her back row.  I watched her ball out a few times throughout the entire club season and knew that once the updates were to happen, she would be moving up the list.  Please help us congratulate her on moving up the State Ranking List. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miss Randle has risen in the State Rankings once again.  She is now currently ranked as the 14<sup>th</sup> best overall player according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.  She is also listed as the 117<sup>th</sup> nationally ranked player according to our site.  She plays for Harlan High School and will play for the Austin Performance volleyball club program this coming season.  Recently, she chose to commit to play volleyball at Louisiana State University and we know that they will love everything about her game once they get her on their campus.  We have seen her a lot over the years and her game is constantly getting better each time she steps on the court.  In my professional opinion, there is no ceiling to just how great she can be.  Every time I see her, it seems like she has grown in inches and strength.  Everything about her game tells me that she will be able to play professionally once she is done with college.  We love everything about her and wanted to reward her hard work in her craft.  Please help us congratulate her on moving up in our prestigious State Rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tinsley has made a huge jump in the State Rankings in this update.  She is now currently ranked as the 5<sup>th</sup> best overall player according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings and also 50<sup>th</sup> overall nationally.  She plays volleyball for Fort Bend Austin High School and also plays for the [program_tooltip program_id='510661' first='Houston' last='Skyline'] volleyball Club program.  Recently she chose to play her collegiate ball at the University of Arizona and they will have an immediate impact setter and leader from the moment she steps on campus.  Not only is she gifted with the ball in her hands, but she is able to run a five one offense and block while at the net at a very high level.  Her leadership truly stands out as she doesn't get rattled in tough/tight moments against top-level competition.  As a matter of fact, I have seen her rise to the occasion and play even better in those moments.  They say that stars step up when big moments happen and that is exactly who Tins is as a player.  When you watch her deliver the ball, she makes the correct read and also places it exactly where her attackers need it in order to succeed.  We are proud of her hard work and chose to reward her accordingly.  Please help us congratulate her on moving up in our prestigious State Rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes.
