She is currently ranked as the 91^stbest overall prospect in the 2026 Class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.&nbsp; She plays for Rocklin High School and also plays for the SynergyForce volleyball club. &nbsp;There are certain volleyball players who are lethal from any location on the court and that is exactly who Gianna is.&nbsp; Her trademark deep touch point and picturesque approach look like poetry in motion as she glides through the air.&nbsp; G is a true six rotation outside hitter who really helps her squad while in the back row.&nbsp; Her middle back defense can cover all thirty feet laterally from sideline to sideline to make sure that every attack is covered.&nbsp; She uses some fantastic court vision to play defense and is always in a great position to play the ball as she sets up early due to her great read on the hitter.&nbsp; By using her hands on defense for high driven balls, she shows a very vast range to dig.&nbsp; We love everything she does on the court and there is no doubt in my mind that she will be a force for UC Davis next season when she steps on campus.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot amongst the top players in our State Rankings.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["540847"],"_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-68fd0f728a818"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Please welcome Miss Ealy to the prestigious State Rankings.&nbsp; She is currently ranked as the 85^th best overall prospect in the 2026 Class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings. &nbsp;She plays for Mountain House High School and also for the NorCal volleyball club. &nbsp;While most players would be devastated to have major adversity happen to them in their volleyball career, Ella showed tremendous perseverance and resolve to make sure that she stayed strong at heart to come back from an injury.&nbsp; She is back and better than ever on the court.&nbsp; I love that she can run every route that a middle should know with precision.&nbsp; What stands out about her play is how powerful her arm swing is at the point of contact.&nbsp; There is a noticeable explosion as the ball rebounds off of her hand and no one on the defensive side of the ball is ever ready for it.&nbsp; Because she truly understands how to attack the ball around the block so well, she scores with very high efficiency. &nbsp;I see tons of potential in her game to keep improving and be a big force if her squads run her on a faster tempo more often.&nbsp; Keep your eye on this young lady as she continues to progress.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot in our State Rankings.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["494341"],"_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-68fd0f728a865"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Please welcome Miss Nelson officially to the State Rankings.&nbsp; She is currently ranked as the 79^th best overall prospect in the 2026 Class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings.&nbsp; She plays for San Clemente High School and also for the A4 Volleyball club. &nbsp;The Long Beach State commit is long, lean, and very hard to stop at the net.&nbsp; She contacts the ball at such a high point, that it is very difficult for any blocker to get a touch on it in order to slow it down.&nbsp; One of the best aspects of her offensive skill set is how she doesn't need much space in order to approach and still be able to attack with power.&nbsp; While most attackers need to create a lot of momentum to get up as high as possible, she really uses her height and long arms in order to stay efficient during out of system plays.&nbsp; While a lot of taller players struggle with speed and athleticism, Ashton is blessed and super special.&nbsp; She moves around the court very fluidly and with tons of gracefulness.&nbsp; If you have not seen her yet, I strongly suggest that you give her a look this year and you will not be disappointed.&nbsp; Please help us congratulate her on being named one of the top players in our State Rankings.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes.&nbsp;
