Katarina Teahen Katarina Teahen 5'11" | MB Seven Lakes | 2021 State TX [2021] 5-11 Middle (HS: Seven Lakes/Club: Texas Tornados / Verbal: George Mason University)
Please welcome Katarina to the 2021 Prep Dig State Rankings. We have her listed as the 88th best prospect in the state. We just profiled her earlier this month for her recent commitment and here is a little of what we said, “She is a talented middle from the Katy area. Katarina currently plays for Seven Lakes HS and also club for the Texas Tornados club program. She helped her varsity squad win the UIL 6A State Championship with an overall record of 25-1 and 11-1 in district. Over her two years on varsity she has contributed 17 digs, 86 blocks, and 76 kills on a great .361 hitting percentage. We are proud to announce that she just recently committed to play volleyball George Mason University. She has a picturesque upswing during her approach to attack out of the middle. It allows her to get up quick and explode on the ball. She is able to run all of the tempos on the entire middle route tree with precision. We think she will be an asset to George Mason as soon as she steps on campus.” She is an extremely positive player and is extremely coachable. Katarina shows this off by having played multiple positions during her volleyball career. She has learned a lot of skills and it shows in her primary position of middle. She hits at a very high clip and we think this will continue as she continues with her college career. We at Prep Dig couldn’t be more proud of her accomplishments. Please help us congratulate her on this amazing accolade.
Kaylen Beaty Kaylen Beaty 5'9" | OH Boswell | 2021 State TX 2021 5-9 Outside (HS: Boswell/Club: Tejas/Verbal: University of Texas at Arlington)
Please welcome Kaylen to the 2021 Prep Dig State Rankings. We have her listed as the 95th best prospect in the state. Miss Beaty is a great setter who plays for Boswell HS and she also plays for Tejas Volleyball club out of the North Texas Region. In two years on varsity she has tallied 683 kills on a career .218 hitting percentage. She also had 11 aces, 48 blocks, and 827 digs. This past year she helped Boswell have a 17-4 overall record and a district record of 11-2. Kaylen was able to be nominated for the AVCA Phenom List this year due to her play. She is committed to playing at the next level with the University of Texas at Arlington and will definitely help them stay competitive. Miss Beaty has a whip of an arm that she uses to score on the left side pin. She is able to paint the line with power consistently and can also score with some off-speed shots when necessary. Boswell liked to run her on second tempo sets out of the middle and she cut around the block very well due to her athleticism. She showed us that she deserved to be on our State Rankings. Please congratulate her on this great achievement.
