Ten categories, three players, one class

The Tigers are 23-3 in Texas, which is a hard place to be 23-3, and every one of the ten statistical categories the school publishes is led by a member of the Class of 2029. Three players hold all ten between them. MC Crutcher has seven, Abrielle Johnson has two, Hayley Hobbs has one.

Crutcher is the reason. She has 309 kills at a .462 hitting percentage. Not 309 kills. 309 kills while hitting .462. Those two numbers do not usually sit next to each other, because volume hitters take bad swings and .462 hitters are middles who only swing when the set is perfect. Crutcher is an outside hitter taking a huge share of a winning team's attack and converting at a middle's rate.

She also leads Mansfield in digs with 184 and in aces with 22, so she is not coming off for defence either.

She is a five-star for us in the Class of 2029, and looking at the season she is having, the evaluation reads light rather than generous.

Around her: Kayla Walters, second on the team in kills with 84. Hobbs leads the team in blocks with 35 and hits .333. Johnson leads the team in assists with 228 and in aces per set. Lindsay Stubblefield is second in digs with 170. All sophomores.

Elsewhere in the class, the setters are the story

Sutton Breck Tessier at Lake Creek has 719 assists. That is the largest single count we came across today in any category in any class. Lake Creek is 24-8 and has played 78 sets, more than almost anybody, and Tessier has been on the floor for essentially all of them. She also has 212 digs and 31 blocks.

Behind her, Lylah Lopez-Castillo at McAllen Memorial has 578 for a 20-7 team, and Jaci Stull at Montgomery has 453 while also putting up 215 digs and 143 kills.

The defensive end of the class belongs to one player

Ashley Ruschill at McKinney Boyd has 483 digs at 8.9 per set for a team that is 16-5. The only two players in the country with more digs than her are both older, so within the Class of 2029 she stands alone, and 483 in August is the kind of libero season that decides where a programme's ceiling is. She turns up again in today's dig race, where she has the best rate of anybody above 400.

And then there is Aviana Mack at Glenn, who has 72 total blocks, more than any other sophomore we could verify anywhere in the country. Mack also hits .328, so she is not a specialist who only shows up on one row of the sheet.

Sophomore year is when the calendar starts to matter

Three of the 34 players on this page carry a star tier from us. The other thirty-one are producing at the same level and are not in anybody's system yet.

Sophomore year is when the recruiting calendar starts to matter, which makes that ratio the most useful number on the page.

On the cusp

Sutton Breck Tessier (Lake Creek TX), Ashley Ruschill (McKinney Boyd TX), Aviana Mack (Glenn TX), Lylah Lopez-Castillo (McAllen Memorial TX), Harper Harbuck (Aledo TX).

Five sophomores at the top of a national category with no star tier from us. Tessier has more assists than any player in any class we came across today. Mack has more blocks than any other sophomore. Neither is ranked anywhere.
