Houston Exposure Tour Showcase Players to Watch Vol 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are very excited to run our Exposure Tour in Texas this month.&nbsp; We will begin in Houston on November 30^th at the [program_tooltip program_id='462263' first='TAV' last='Houston'] Competitive Edge Sports Complex in Spring, TX. The one aspect that sets our showcases apart from every other one in the country is how we offer coverage, before, during, and after it is completed.&nbsp; Let's take a look at the list of senior athletes that are signed up to join the showcase.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Seniors to Watch</u></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='797227' first='Kayla' last='Hernandez'] [2026] 5-0 Libero (HS: Stephen F Austin/Club: [program_tooltip program_id='745880' first='Houston' last='Stellar']/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We got to see this young lady during our stock up showcase this past summer and she had a great showing as she earned a Top Performer award.&nbsp; We are going to be watching her closely to see how much she has improved over the course of the high school season.&nbsp; I know she is a hard worker who has attention to detail in her technique.&nbsp; You can see it as she holds her posture and platform after contact of the ball.&nbsp; We will be reporting back on what we see from her on Sunday.&nbsp; Stay tuned for more.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='905734' first='Cynthia' last='Daniels'] [2026] 5-11 Middle (HS: Manvel/Club: Absolute Volleyball Academy/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Miss Daniels is someone who I am eager to watch as she looks very active and powerful in her highlight reels.&nbsp; She seems to have some great court vision recognizing where the holes are in the defense and exploiting them with some off-speed shots to score.&nbsp; Her timing looks great as she approaches for quick sets utilizing fast footwork.&nbsp; Standing at five foot eleven with power in her upper body should showcase very well in front of the college coaches who will be present.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='727211' first='Avery' last='Gazzaway'] [2026] 5-8 Libero (HS: Woodville/Club: Excel/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>From watching her highlight reels online, Miss Gazzaway has lots of athleticism and power in her strong frame.&nbsp; She has a great jump serve that can stifle opposing receivers.&nbsp; I love how she understands the importance of keeping her shoulders low and in front of her feet as she passes the ball to her setter.&nbsp; We will be watching her closely to see how she competes against the top competition that is registered.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='891939' first='Mikayla' last='Cromwell'] [2026] 5-5 Libero (HS: Chaparral/Club: Texas Heat/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The activity on the court that Miss Cromwell showed during her high school season was astounding.&nbsp; From all of the video that I watched on her, it looks like she truly knows her role and loves to play defense.&nbsp; The hardest ball to dig is the one that does not come straight to you and you have to pursue it with emergency techniques.&nbsp; Mikayla is always ready to sprawl out for the ball and is not afraid to get dirty on the floor if need be to keep the ball in play.&nbsp; This kind of energy is exactly what college coaches want to see and we think she will make a name for herself if she does this tomorrow.&nbsp; Stay tuned for more coverage on her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brianne Esteen [2026] 5-8 Outside (HS: John Curtis Christian/Club: Thibodeaux Regional Rise/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>&nbsp;This past high school season, Brianne amassed 150 kills as she helped her squad to a 32-13 overall record on the year.&nbsp; This young lady can get up quick off of the ground and has a lightning quick arm swing that throttles the ball with tons of power.&nbsp; After watching her film online, I love how versatile she is at attacking the ball from both pins and at different tempos.&nbsp; Having a hitter that can change speeds will open up a ton of options for any offensive system.&nbsp; There is no doubt in my mind that she will have a great showcase tomorrow.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stay tuned for articles following the event that highlight those athletes that stood out to our scouts and court coaches.&nbsp;
