THE SETUP: No. 11 Friendswood | VYPE Houston Volleyball 2026 Preseason Rankings

The featured standouts of the 2026–27 Friendswood Mustangs volleyball team.

Matt Powell (VYPE)

Friendswood enjoyed a banner season in 2025, going 37-10 en route to the UIL State Semifinals and further cementing its place among the state’s elite programs. While generational talent Nadi'ya Shelby has moved on to the University of Florida, along with Caroline Adams (US Naval Academy) and Haley Patton (North Dakota), the cupboard is far from bare for coach Sarah Paulk.

At the forefront is Boise State (Beach Volleyball) commit Elaina Holtvluwer and Sarah Grace Hickl (SFA)—both outside hitters and first-team all-district selections a season ago—while younger sister Ashley Adams (Liberty commit), another first-teamer, steps in to direct the offense from the setter position. Senior Ellie Leitko will stabilize the middle for the Mustangs after being named District 20-5A Blocker of the Year.

THE SETUP: No. 12 College Park | VYPE Houston Volleyball 2026 Preseason Rankings

The featured standouts of the 2026–27 College Park Cavaliers volleyball team.

Matt Powell (VYPE)

The Cavaliers have authored a historic stretch over the past two seasons, built around one of the program’s most accomplished groups in recent memory.

Last fall, seniors Caroline Prihoda (Kentucky) and Lacy Tinnell (Baylor) helped set the tone as College Park finished 31-12 and advanced two rounds deep into the postseason. With those standouts now at the collegiate level, a new group steps into the spotlight.

THE SETUP: No. 13 Stratford | VYPE Houston Volleyball 2026 Preseason Rankings

The featured standouts of the 2026–27 Stratford Spartans volleyball team.

Farrah Sheeren (VYPE)

The Stratford Spartans have been on a heater. Two seasons ago, Stratford reached the UIL 6A Division II state title match, squaring off against Byron Nelson. Last fall, the Spartans followed that up with another deep postseason push, advancing to the Regional Finals and finishing 26-16 overall.

Stratford will have some holes to fill following the graduation of Audrey Cook (Grand Canyon) and Gwen Koss (Providence), two cornerstone players who helped fuel the program’s recent success.
