Montgomery Sr. OH Delaney Wright

Salt Lake City, Utah, is a long way from Montgomery, Texas, but the lethal outside hitter will be putting on a show for the Utes in the years to come.
For now, however, Wright hopes to lead the Bears on a deep postseason run in 2026 with her team-first mentality and contagious on-court energy.
VYPE caught up with Wright for our favorite feature — The 411.
...
VYPE: Utah? What was it about the Utes that you loved?
WRIGHT: "The recruiting journey is tricky because you have a short amount of time to figure out what college program is the right fit for you... over about three days on a visit. Utah has been one of my favorite schools since I was 15 years old. It's a lifetime decision, and I'm very comfortable with the entire package Utah has to offer."

VYPE: How would people describe you?
WRIGHT: "I am really silly. On the court, I play with big energy and am always talking. I don't know how our opponents take it, but that's always been my game. I just love having fun on the court, and I think it shows."
...
VYPE: What do you do outside of volleyball?
WRIGHT: "I love to golf. I'm no Tiger Woods, but I'm pretty good with my 6-iron. My pickleball game? 10 out of 10. I love hanging out with my friends, and I'm pretty good at hacky sack."
...
VYPE: What advice would you give your freshman self?
WRIGHT: "Easy... don't take things so seriously. I was so hard on myself early in my career. You have to know you're going to have good matches and bad matches. All of the ups and downs are opportunities to learn."
...
VYPE: What is your go-to spot to eat?
WRIGHT: "Of course, Chick-fil-A. I eat there so much, though. I also love Texas Roadhouse. Those rolls are amazing."
...
VYPE: If you had an NIL (Name, Image and Likeness) deal, who would you love it to be with?
WRIGHT: "Something I use all the time, like TELETIES hair ties. I'm also in love with Minky Couture blankets. I'm definitely going to need them in Utah."
...
VYPE: What has the town of Montgomery and the Bears meant to you?
WRIGHT: "Everything. It's home. No matter what, I know I have so many people to lean on—from my family to my coaches to my teammates. It has been a great place to grow up."

First-team all-district libero Mina Ludwig is also back after recording 432 digs and 628 serve receptions. Running the offense will be setter Isabella Franco, who finished with 461 assists last season and is poised for a breakout year as the team's full-time floor general.
Other players to watch include second-team all-district selections Blye Thompson (OH, 195 kills), Bailey Gonzalez (OH, 196 kills) and Madyson Ladd (MB, 111 kills).
Don't be fooled by the new district and conference. Barbers Hill may be fresh to the Class 6A block, but the Eagles are no strangers to competing on the big stage.

“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.
