Who leads the Class of 2027 in kills?

Marley Moore leads the Class of 2027 nationally with 340 kills in 41 sets, a rate of 8.29 per set. No other senior in the country is within 50 kills of her, and every one of them has played more volleyball to get there. She is the only athlete on this board above eight kills per set.

Where the top 30 come from

Behind Moore, the board looks the way an August board always looks. Texas has 18 of the top 30, Mississippi five, Georgia four, California two, and North Carolina one. Everybody else is still waiting to open. If you are a senior in Illinois or New York and you are not on here, that is the calendar talking, and we will be back with a fuller picture once your season starts. For where the whole country stands right now, see our High School National Rankings (Aug 2026).

Best kills per set: the rate risers

Two names further down the board deserve more attention than their ranking suggests. Elly Randolph at Reagan in Pfafftown has played 30 sets, the fewest of anyone on this list, and she is second in the class in kills per set at 6.20. She is also the only senior from North Carolina here, in a state where a lot of programs are barely underway. Jyniah Carr at Salem in Tylertown is at 5.67 in 39 sets, the third-best rate on the board, sitting 13th on raw total.

Springtown's three national boards

Springtown is having a season. Libby Tedder is second in the class nationally with 289 kills, teammate Ryleigh Strickland has 427 assists, and Ashley Shreves has 253 digs. Three names off the same roster on three different national boards is unusual for a program that size.

On the cusp: Nos. 31 to 100

We are holding the rest until more of the country is playing. Every senior between No. 31 and No. 100 on the national board right now comes from four states, and publishing that as a cusp list would tell you more about the calendar than about the players.

How we count kills and sets

Figures are through Wednesday, August 26, via MaxPreps. We print sets played next to every total, because a raw number without the sets count will mislead you every time, and the per-set column is ours. We also ran all 30 names against our own Class of 2027 rankings and flagged everybody who carries a VBallRecruiter evaluation. 9 of them do.
