<p>The high school volleyball season continues to progress at full pace in the state of Texas, and for some districts, the playoff race is shaping up pretty clearly as the weeks go by.</p>   <p>We, at Prep Dig Texas, are excited to cover another season of high school volleyball in our state and will attend multiple matches every week in the Houston area, producing articles, photos and social media posts that highlight the impressive performances and accomplishments from our players.</p>   <p>On Tuesday, October 7, we attended the big District 20 rivalry match between the Fulshear Chargers and the Foster Falcons, in Fulshear.</p>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>Fulshear vs. Foster - <a href="https://prepdig.com/2025/10/texas-hs-fulshear-vs-foster-photos-2/">Photos</a></strong></li> </ul>   <p>After dropping the first set, the Chargers came back to win the match 3-1 (16-25, 25-19, 25-19, 25-20). </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/grtorres/status/1975725804765258019/ </div></figure>   <p>With the victory, the Chargers returned to the top of the district standings with four wins and one loss and improved their season record to 27-9. The Falcons also have four wins and one loss in district play and dropped to second - their second record is 22-7. Both teams will return to action on Thursday, with Fulshear playing on the road against Alief Taylor and Foster hosting George Ranch.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Performers</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">The sophomore outside hitter carried Fulshear to victory with an outstanding offensive performance. With her sister Madisen watching on the sidelines, Skinner was on fire at the net, getting set very frequently and converting her swings into points at a very high rate. Her leaping ability and heavy right arm helped, but it was Skinner's excellent vision and decision-making that made her impossible to stop at times. The outside hitter had a brief moment of difficulty with her passing in the first set that affected her side out, but she quickly shook it off and performed at a very high level in both areas until the end of the match. She also served very well and ended the match with an ace.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/grtorres/status/1975724991225471140 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Playing opposite to Skinner on the other outside hitter spot, the senior also had a big offensive role for the Chargers. Voskuhl was the team's second-most-used attacking player and she was particularly important in out-of-system plays, using her height and power to overcome opposing blockers and defenders and put the ball down. Her offensive game also stood out for her excellent choices, which avoided unforced errors and allowed her to score with smart plays. Voskuhl also had an important defensive role for Fulshear, blocking on the right on some rotations and forcing Foster's high-scoring outside hitter [player_tooltip player_id='804694' first='Emerson' last='Lechler'] into errors with her big presence.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/grtorres/status/1975712581932454023 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">The senior had an excellent performance in the middle and helped Fulshear dominate the net. Harris played an important role for the team with her strong blocking as she dominated Fulshear's middles and made their opponents much more predictable. She did a great job of reading plays at the net and quickly getting off the floor to get stops. Harris also contributed offensively, reaching a good rate for her swings.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2025/10/2J4A0057_460c43.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-892764" /></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">With starter [player_tooltip player_id='534407' first='Reina' last='Jones'] sidelined, Aguilar split the setting duties with junior Peyton Need and did a great job running Fulshear's offense. She was very pragmatic with her distribution, prioritizing the team's outside hitters, who were both having great nights, but found the right opportunities to feed her middles and right side, avoiding overloading any of her hitters. Aguilar also did well when working with passes off the net, getting quickly to the ball and remaining accurate with her locations. The setter was very effective from the service line too, consistently creating problems for Foster with her floaters.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/grtorres/status/1975719593701482984 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">The sophomore right side was Foster's most consistent player in the match, producing at a good level and keeping her errors low. Barnes registered ten kills throughout the match and was set in key moments, responding well and finding good solutions to difficult plays. She displayed great vision with her shots, consistently picking the right options to beat the block. She also had seven digs and a block and was part of the team's serve-receive system, contributing with her solid passing. The right side hitter had a good serving run on set four that helped her team close the gap to Fulshear.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/grtorres/status/1975704623605248506 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">The senior outside hitter was somewhat inconsistent during the match, at times making uncharacteristic consecutive errors, but still produced at a high volume, and was pivotal in the team's first-set victory. Lechler had great moments offensively, in which she was truly unstoppable, swinging from either the pin or the middle back position. She also passed at a good level, had a team-high 18 digs, and registered a block and an ace.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2025/10/2J4A0066.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-892769" /></figure>   <p></p>
