Hayven Hogg Hayven Hogg 5'7" | OH/DS/L Royse City | 2030 TX , a 6 rotation player out of Royse City showed up in Carrollton on July 19th and set the tone for all around energy. No matter the play, she is going to go all out to keep the ball in play. With a true competitor mindset, she hustles to make impossible plays, and maintains high energy throughout play. Her athleticism is on full display when she approaches and elevates above the block to take a powerful attack on the ball. Her swing is technical, strong, and scoring. Taking her talents from UEPA to TAV this season, she is ready to compete!

The recipient of this award went to Hayven Hogg Hayven Hogg 5'7" | OH/DS/L Royse City | 2030 TX .  The Avoli Award is not given for one big swing or one impressive serve. It is given to the player who raises the standard of the room and that is exactly what Hayven did at the Dallas showcase on July 19th at Courtside Sports Center. The 5’7″ outside hitter from Royse City brought an energy and a willingness to compete that was visible from the first point of the day and the court coaches and scouts on the floor noticed it consistently throughout every segment of the event. She communicated, she led, she worked, and she did all of it with the kind of genuine sportsmanship that makes everyone around her want to compete at the same level. At 5’7″ in the class of 2030, her game is still developing, but the character she showed on July 19th is the foundation that everything else gets built on top of. I was put on notice about her earlier this year at the Sunshine Classic National Qualifier Showcase because of her performance there, but she proved in this showcase that it was not a fluke.  This young lady is the real deal.  Not only is she a super explosive player with her skill set, but she is a phenomenal teammate and is very coachable.  We are very high on her and her ceiling to keep improving.  I strongly suggest every college coach starts to notice her already. Please help us congratulate this awesome young lady for earning this prestigious prize. 

Hogg will join Royse City in the upcoming high school season and is set to move to Texas Advantage at the club level after standing out for Untouchables EPA in the recently ended season. She has a lot of power in her offense, making a strong approach, taking off nicely and showing impressive arm speed when making contact with the ball. Hogg is very confident at the net and will never hesitate when set, even in key moments of the match. She also has solid technical tools and ball control and offers solid contributions in serve-receive and when playing defense.

Hayven Hogg Hayven Hogg 5'7" | OH/DS/L Royse City | 2030 TX showcased one of the smoothest transitions of the session. Her tempo builds intentionally, culminating in a decisive burst that finishes through her hip rotation and arm extension. The mechanics are purposeful — balanced, powerful, and repeatable. At the net, she competes with edge and confidence, contributing both offensively and defensively. ~Sophia Jeanpierre @prepdig_fl
