Continue ReadingWe began our rankings in March with only the top 50 players in the state ranked on our list. We now have the top 91 players in the state ranked in the 2023 grad class. We are extremely excited to welcome these ladies to such a prestigious group. In this installment of the series, we turn our attention to three players from the Houston area who have earned a spot with Prep Dig with their much deserved overall State Ranking attached to their name. Congratulate them on social media or in person the next time you see them. Welcome to the list ladies…
Meghan Donoughue Meghan Donoughue 5'10" | OH Friendswood | 2023 State TX [2023] 5-10 Right Side/Setter (HS: Friendswood/Club: Houston Stellar/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Please welcome Meghan to the 2023 Prep Dig State Rankings. We have her listed as the 73rd best prospect in the state. She is a lefty right side hitter & setter from the South Houston area. Meghan is extremely athletic and routinely catches her opponent out of system when she goes over on two with a solid swing from the right side. It is fun to watch her when she does this and it scores most of the time. Part of the reason it scores so easily is due to her amazing timing, but more importantly it is due to her very strong arm swing. She puts the hammer down on the right and scores with authority. She is a very good weapon for her Houston Stellar program and will be a threat for her high school Friendswood program who is always in the running for a deep run in the playoffs. We are excited to have her on our radar and think college programs should have her on their lists also. Please congratulate her on her ranking with Prep Dig.
Olivia Abbott Olivia Abbott 5'7" | OH Stratford | 2023 TX [2024] 5-7 Libero (HS: Stratford/Club: Absolute Volleyball Academy/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Please help us welcome Olivia officially to the list as the 82nd best prospect in the 2023 class according to our Prep Dig State Rankings. She is a versatile athlete from the Houston area who excels in the back row. At Stratford high, she mainly plays in the back row. So far in her young career she has amassed 261 digs, 18 aces, and has 322 serve receptions. At AVA she shines as a libero also. Her upper body strength is something that stands out. She holds her platform so well during contact and after to ensure complete platform integrity. Being that strong sometimes those types of players don’t have much dexterity in their lower body, but she is both strong and stable and also can fly around and show her range when necessary on out of system emergency digs. We are excited to have her in the Prep Dig family and look forward to watching her progress. Please help us congratulate her on the honor of being ranked amongst the best in the state.
Lauren Vickery Lauren Vickery 5'6" | DS/L Grand Oaks | 2023 TX [2023] 5-8 Outside Hitter/Defensive Specialist (HS: Grand Oaks/Club: Woodlands Revolution/ Verbal: Uncommitted)
Please welcome Lauren to the 2023 Prep Dig State Rankings. We have her listed as the 84th best prospect in the state. Lauren is a very quick and skilled volleyball player who participates both in indoor and beach volleyball. As I always state, it takes a special player to transition from one sport to the other. Most people think it is easy to go from sand to indoor, but it is not. Players like Lauren make it look very easy due to their athleticism. She plays for a great up and coming high school in Grand Oaks who is relatively new to the Houston public school scene. Her Coach Morgan Rogers will definitely get her to the next level. She started out as an outside hitter as a freshman but we will watch her progress to see if she transitions to a defensive spot or stays as a hitter for the future. We are excited to see her progress in the next few years. Please congratulate her on her ranking with Prep Dig amongst the best in the state.
