What a program looks like from the outside

Gentry Barker is 13th in the country in kills with 278. Maggie Wheeler is 19th on that board with 260, and she is also 15th in digs with 312. Xyanna Stephens is eighth in digs with 357. Tatum Wilson is 17th in assists with 469. Barker is a four-star for us in the Class of 2027.

Getting one player onto a national board takes a very good player. Getting five placings onto three boards takes a programme, and it takes the unglamorous half of one: passing clean enough that the setter gets a real ball, and a back row keeping rallies alive long enough for any of it to matter.

Lake Creek, Texas: three players, including the national assist leader

Sutton Breck Tessier now leads the country in assists with 653, and she has played 78 sets doing it. Ryan Mokry is 12th in kills with 280. Louisa Ertischek is 13th in digs with 323 in 78 sets. All three have been on the floor for essentially every set Lake Creek has played this fall.

Springtown, Texas: three players, four placings

Libby Tedder is third in the country in kills with 355 and seventh in aces with 54. Ryleigh Strickland is 11th nationally in assists with 519. Ashley Shreves is 21st in digs with 297. Springtown has played 73 sets, more volleyball than almost anybody in America, and it has a name in three of the six categories.

Jackson Academy, Mississippi: two of the thirteen best blocking seasons in America

Carson Caraway is 10th in the country in kills with 283 and third in hitting percentage at .484. Asia Lindsay is sixth nationally in blocks with 59 and Lorin Bass is 13th with 54, which means one school has two of the thirteen best blocking seasons in the country. Bass is a freshman and a three-star for us in the Class of 2030.

Madison, San Antonio: two of the ten best defensive seasons in the country

Makayla Escobedo is second nationally in digs with 465 and Kyleigh Shaw is 10th with 342, both in 63 sets. Two players on one roster inside the national dig top ten is the rarest thing on this page.

McCallum in Austin is close behind it: Tiara Cooks is 11th in digs with 337 and Piper Adair is 16th with 303, both in 62 sets, and Adair is also 24th in the country in kills with 248.

Crawford and Pieper, Texas

Leyton Minnix leads the entire country in digs with 469 and Ainsley Anderson is fifth nationally in assists with 561. Crawford has the best back-row season and the fifth-best setting season in America on the same roster.

At Pieper in San Antonio, Cayleigh Monson is seventh in digs with 358 and Jaela Harris is sixth in assists with 554, both in 56 sets. Identical workloads, opposite jobs.

Lutheran South Academy, Houston (11-7)

Addison Musgrove has 404 assists and is 11th in the country in aces with 52. Underneath her, Megan Schwanbeck has 160 kills at 3.7 a set, Charlie Marsico has 176 digs at 4.1 a set and 159 receptions, Lucy Gartrell has 21 total blocks, and Hallie Garner leads the team in hitting percentage at .277 with 61 kills and 19 aces of her own. Musgrove is a four-star for us in the Class of 2028.

Boerne-Champion, Texas (15-3, first in district)

Brady Cooksey is 20th in the country in assists with 451 and hits .279 herself. Finley Weikle has 187 kills at 4.2 a set. Brielle Boothe has 218 digs at 4.8 a set, 29 aces and 207 receptions. Lileyan Rounds has 25 total blocks. Abby Marizcurrena has 66 kills at .214. Five players, five different jobs, one of the best records in Texas. Cooksey is a three-star for us in the Class of 2028.

Cascia Hall, Tulsa (13-3, first in district)

London Laubach has 160 kills at 3.4 a set, 25 aces and 297 receptions. Kennedy Welsh has 178 digs at 3.9 a set, plus 47 assists and 151 receptions. Maddie Coleman has 203 assists. Liza Griffin has 28 total blocks. Four players, four categories, and Laubach is a freshman.

Iowa Colony, Texas (15-6)

Kendal White leads her own team in kills with 143, in digs with 196, in aces with 37 and in receptions with 161, which is four of the six things a team keeps track of. Janae Garner has 35 total blocks. Ashlyn Terry has 240 assists. Allison Salas hits .306.

The unusual part is not that Iowa Colony has good players. It is that one of them is doing four jobs at once.

The pairs

Five more schools have exactly two names on one national board.

Copperas Cove, Texas, blocks: Ann Akindayomi second with 70, Kierra Hanley 25th with 47. Chico, Texas, blocks: Taegan Smith 10th with 55, Aylin Cardona 14th with 52. New Site, Mississippi, aces: Kendall Reese and Baya Buse, 54 apiece in 32 sets apiece. Stone, Mississippi, aces: Mary Grace Pearson third with 56, Addison Willis 13th with 52. Northeast Jones, Mississippi, aces: Brantlee Crager 17th with 51, Ella Blackledge 19th with 49.

On the cusp

Burleson, Texas is the closest thing to a thirteenth entry: Anna Davis leads the entire country in blocks with 75 and Camryn Bruder is 12th in digs with 327, in different categories on different boards.

Also worth a name: San Antonio Christian, where Sara Cleveland is seventh and Taytum Robert 12th in hitting percentage; Coahulla Creek in Georgia, where Alyce Norton has 254 kills and the second-best hitting percentage in America; Wasatch in Utah, where Annie Cronauer leads her state in hitting percentage; and Carrboro in North Carolina, 8-2 and 2-0 in conference.
