Realizing there is more to an athlete than a stat or a team, Prep Dig uses the lists of players to track these young ladies’ progress throughout their volleyball careers. This list does not define a player. This list recognizes those that have worked hard at a sport they love to compete in.
Always changing and evolving, Prep Dig continues to update and add to these lists. One goal is to allow readers and college coaches to get to know as many players as possible. These young ladies are amazing in their work ethic, leadership, and just being great kids.
Let’s just say there’s a lot of defensive talent in this class of 2022. These girls work hard and are often the unsung heroes of the team with their ball control keeping their teams in system. Let’s take a look at a few of them.
