Continue ReadingThe high school volleyball season is underway in Texas and talented young players have been showcasing their skills in every corner of the Lone Star state.
One of our missions at Prep Dig is to highlight as many teams and prospects as possible around the state, from State Championship contenders and household names to underdogs and special talents who might be flying under-the-radar.
We spend a lot of time at the gyms gathering information and watching matches and will use this space to highlight some of the teams and players we got to watch in person. These are the Cy-Fair Bobcats.
Cy-Fair Bobcats
The Bobcats from the Cy-Fair High School out of Cypress had a good start to their league campaign, winning all of their first three matches in the Class 6A, Region III – District 17. Those victories improved the win record of the team coached by Donna Benotti to 16-15, including six triumphs in their most recent matches.
Players to Watch:
Payton Rink – Outside Hitter – Club: Texas Legacy – 2022
An Oklahoma Baptist commit, Payton Rink is Cy-Fair’s most powerful and lethal hitter. The 5’11” outside hitter has one of the fastest arms in the state and bounces balls every time she finds the right opportunity to do it. Rink has tremendous reach and is nearly unstoppable when hitting angle. Another great thing about her offense is that she’s also very effective with her tips and knows exactly when to use them. She’s the Bobcats’ most prolific offensive player so far with 239 kills and has also added 178 passes, 96 digs and 28 blocks.
Alexis Robinson – Middle Blocker – 2022
A dominant player at the net, Alexis Robinson knows how to make her presence felt. An exceptional blocker, this 5’11” prospect racks up a lot of points because of her ability to move well at the net, closing the space with the blocker at the pin, and her great hands placement. She can take matches over with her blocking ability, but is also a dangerous server and an above-average defensive player for a middle blocker. She leads the Bobcats in blocks, with impressive 91, and aces, with 35, besides ranking fourth in kills with 104.
Madison Hrncir – Outside Hitter – 2022
Madison Hrncir’s all-around game proves to be of great value for the Bobcats as she contributes to the team’s success on offense and defense. On the attacking side of things, the 5’8” outside hitter uses her great technique to score in a variety of ways. She’s really smart and efficient in the way she approaches out-of-system sets but also has the ability and the physical tools to absolutely smash the ball in combination plays. Always very calm and focuses, Hrncir has produced 165 kills, 217 passes and 130 digs for the team so far in the season.
