It is rare for a player to jump ahead of more than 100 other prospects in the ranking. That is what Victoria did flying from 169 to 65 in the rankings. She provided Libero with a middle presence that allowed them to win their first four matches in the American Division in Junior Nationals.

This coming season she will play for what could be a strong Independence high school team. Last year as a sophomore Victoria was name first team All Cedar District. She also won the Hustle and Heart team award.

Independence could have an interesting roster this year with Leyla Landry Leyla Landry 5'9" | OH Independencesc | 2030 State VA joining the Rhoton sisters and banger Kaelyn Wharton Kaelyn Wharton 5'8" | OH/DS/L Independencesc | 2027 State VA to give Independence some fire power.

Like Metro National the Libero Huskies are playing in the American Division. The Huskies lost their last match but still finished first in their pool.

I only arrived for the third set for Libero and witnessed Victoria whack the game winning kill in their 15-12 win over KNVBC Showtime to put them in a position for first place.

Victoria has some height. She was the lone sophomore to make the Cedar District first team. All the other players were juniors and seniors.

As my first evaluation of her stated the Junior Nationals would give me a second opportunity to take a look at her. She passed with flying colors on the second look.

She debuted in our class of 2028 rankings at 170 but the Junior Nationals will give me a second opportunity to take a look at her.

As a sophomore she earned a spot on the Cedar District first team. She also won the hustle and heart award for her high school team. She has good length for a middle and a quick wrist snap that puts the ball to the floor quickly.

Another player from the Libero Huskies worth a watch.

Last year Victoria played for the Libero Huskies that earned a spot in the Junior Nationals. She stands tall in the middle and puts the ball away. For some reason she never appeared in our rankings

Victoria has returned to Libero this year and continues to put the ball away. She also impressed with her ability to move from pin to pin to put up a potent block. She certainly brings some length to the middle.

Playing for Independence she was the only sophomore to make the All Cedar District first team. Perhaps this year I have ranked her too low. She won the hustle and heart award as well for her high school team.

Definitely, a player on the rise. Libero has qualified for Junior Nationals in the American Division.
