Maddie Waak Maddie Waak 5'10" | S Katy | 2022 State #36 Nation TX [2022] 5-10 Setter (HS: Katy/Club: Houston Skyline/Verbal: LSU)
Maddie comes in ranked as the number 5 top prospect in the 2022 class according to our Prep Dig State Rankings. We wrote an article on Maddie earlier in the spring and here is a little of what we said, “Miss Waak sets for a very talented Houston Skyline team. Her team won the Open division of USA Volleyball Nationals last year and she is huge reason why. She is one of the most decorated setters in the country by almost every volleyball publication there is. When I say she is college ready at this time of her career, trust me she is college ready. The way the ball comes out of her hands is simply amazing. She sets a quick tempo with ease and her location is pinpoint accurate each time. There is no question why she is so decorated as a player. She makes her teammates that much better. Maddie is the real deal and if you haven’t seen her, make your way to her court when you can. LSU is getting one of the best setters in the nation with Maddie.” This young lady is no stranger to accolades. She has been an All-American from other publications for a couple of years now. She has also been a 1stteam all district player for Katy since she burst on the scene for them.
She has been leading her Katy High school team to an amazing season so far this year. She does have some amazing players to set to in Perris Key Perris Key 5'8" | OH Katy | 2021 State TX and Jordan Gamble Jordan Gamble 6'2" | MB Katy | 2022 State TX . During their playoff match against Memorial this week she had 45 assists, which pushed her past the 2,000 career assist mark for her career. We are extremely proud of her accomplishments on the court. Her excellent play was able to help her squad finally get over the third round playoff hurdle they have not been able to clear in years past. They will now face the winner of Deer Park and Clear Springs. Miss Waak and her teammates will be ready for another battle and we are excited to see the results.
Please congratulate her on such a wonderful feat of being named Prep Dig Player of the Week and also for surpassing 2,000 career assists while leading her team to a deep playoff run!
