Blocking is the hardest thing on a stat sheet to build a reputation on. The numbers are small, they depend enormously on what the other team decides to do, and a middle who terrifies opposing hitters into swinging away from her will finish the night with fewer blocks than one who does not. We publish the board anyway, because a middle with 70 blocks in August has earned a mention, and because almost nobody else prints it.

Who leads the country in blocks?

Anna Davis at Burleson leads the country with 75 blocks in 51 sets. Ann Akindayomi of Copperas Cove is second at 70, and London Roche at Cypress Springs is third with 67 in 46.

Same caveat as everywhere else this month. Twenty of the top 25 are from Texas, four from Mississippi and one from California, which is a function of who has been playing rather than of who blocks.

Best blocks per set: where this board gets interesting

The per-set column is the reason we print it. Alyssa Munoz at Riverside in El Paso has 49 blocks in 20 sets. That is 2.45 per set, and the entire rest of the top 25 is under 2.00. She sits 19th on raw total and first in the country by a distance on rate.

Lucia Correll at San Dieguito Academy is the same story in a smaller way, 51 in 26 sets for 1.96, and she is the only Californian on the board. Willow Hatcher at Kossuth is third on rate at 1.59 in 34 sets.

The freshman at No. 13

One more thing about Lorin Bass. She is a freshman, Class of 2030, and she is 13th in the country in total blocks against a field that is almost entirely juniors and seniors. She is also a three star in our rankings already, which for a first-year varsity middle is not something we hand out often.

The programs with two on the board

Three programs have two players on this list. Chico has Taegan Smith at No. 10 and Aylin Cardona at No. 14, which for a school that size is remarkable. Jackson Academy has Asia Lindsay and Lorin Bass, and the same roster also has Carson Caraway fourth in the country among seniors in kills and Anna Holladay Craft on the national dig board. Copperas Cove has Akindayomi at No. 2 and Kierra Hanley at No. 25.

Watch the rate

Aylin Cardona (Chico TX), Lucia Correll (San Dieguito Academy CA), Willow Hatcher (Kossuth MS), Allee Miller (Katy TX), Alyssa Munoz (Riverside TX).

Every name here is inside the top 25 already. We are flagging them separately because all five have played 43 sets or fewer, and their rates say they belong higher than their totals currently put them.
