First-team all-district middle blocker Amiya Bryant is also back after recording 175 kills and 91 blocks, while second-team all-district setter Lily Singletary returns to run the offense after registering 582 assists and 197 digs. Sophomore libero Ava Edmonds is another player to watch after totaling 212 digs and 408 serve receptions as a freshman.
Additional players expected to make an impact include Abigail Burton, Olivia Vidito, Emelia Dustmann, Ava Lawrence, Ava Schweiger, Ariya Perkins and Kate Schindewolf.
“After tying the school record for most regular-season wins, this team has an opportunity to leave its mark even higher!” Jenkins said. According to Jenkins, the keys to success for Klein Oak are simple: Start strong. Stay strong. Finish strong.

In the middle, Oak Ridge welcomes back District 13-6A Blocker of the Year Micah Rusher. The Memphis commit was a force at the net, totaling 133 blocks while adding 147 kills during her junior campaign.
Other players to watch include senior libero Brooklyn McQueary and junior middle blocker Faith Gandy.
According to Sledge, the keys to success this season will be communication, refusing to settle, embracing a "WE > ME" mentality, and consistently building one another up.

The trio of Morgan Regner (Sr. OH), Landry Youngdahl (Sr. OH), and Abby Vogelmeier (Jr. MB) formed one of the area's most dangerous attacking groups last season, combining for more than 1,000 kills. Regner, a North Florida commit, was named the District Co-Newcomer of the Year, while Vogelmeier and Youngdahl received first-team and second-team all-district recognition, respectively.
Defensively, libero Natalie Herlambang remains the heartbeat of the back row after recording more than 700 digs last season. Avery Turner also returns and is expected to play a key role in bolstering the Falcons' defensive efforts.
Given the collection of attackers and defensive stability back in the fold, Clear Lake appears well-positioned to build on last year's postseason success and author another notable playoff push in 2026.
