2020 The Woodlands Volleyball Preview presented by CertaPro Painters

Bradley Collier // VYPE Media

Welcome to the 2020 volleyball season. What a weird offseason it was for everyone. No club tournaments to travel to, limited training available but what that means is everyone should be fresh for the 2020 campaign.

VYPE previewed 30 public school teams in this year's VYPE Houston Volleyball Preview. Here is one of the Dark Horses - The Woodlands Highlanders.

The Woodlands Highlanders

It is a little weird to put The Woodlands as a Dark Horse, but that's where they fall this year. The Woodlands move into newly formed District 13-6A. Terri Wade (400-142) enters her sixth year leading the program. The Highlanders reached the Regional Semifinals last year, falling to eventual state champion Plano West. Looking towards 2020, The Woodlands returns four starters. Clara Brower – a MaxPreps All-American – is the headliner. Brower, a Georgia-commit, recorded 1,551 assists and 410 digs, and will be a more "offensive" setter this year. Jackie Lee (500 digs, 93 aces) will fill the role of libero, while Lafayette College-commit Natasha Zorbas (161 kills, 93 blocks) will get "even more opportunities" to block this year. Claire Arend (114 kills) will be a "big role player" with great "6-rotation skills" in 2020. Julieta Valdes – the GHVCA 2019 Newcomer of the Year – is hopeful to return slowly after suffering a Sudden Cardiac Arrest back in May.

HOUSTON - For many people the first time they ever heard about Corey "CJ" Hadnot probably came on Saturday night while scrolling through Twitter checking area basketball scores.

The Cypress Creek sophomore had hit a straight-away, buzzer-beating three to force double overtime against Lamar in a game they would go on to win 67-63. He also had five points in that double-overtime period to seal the win.

VYPE Houston Preseason Private School Softball: Others to Watch

Joshua Koch
25 Feb, 2021

Second Baptist School enters this season with six starters returning for Brandy Mardis' team. Once basketball season is over, Leyla Ertan will make her way over to the field. Becca Sloan enters her junior year and will patrol the outfield. Emma Garcia will settle in behind the plate. Rachel Riley is a two-time all-state pick, who will be the ace for the Eagles and is committed to the University of Pennsylvania. Also, watch for Emily Rogers at shortstop.

Bay Area Christian reached the second round of the TAPPS Division III playoffs in 2019. The Lady Broncos are young as juniors Amanda Pollock (P), Annelise Shaw (Utility), and sophomore catcher Alyson Griffith will star for the team. Pollock was named honorable mention, all-state as a freshman in 2019.

St. Pius X will be under new coach Rodney Smith this season. He will have some star power as rising recruit Victoria Hunter and UTSA-signee Emily Dear return for the Panthers in 2021.
