Seven Lakes Jr. MB Willtrace "Wiggles" Ngoh
LOVB Spotlight: Seven Lakes' "Wiggles" Ngoh commits to USC amid breakout season
In the heart of District 19-6A’s playoff race, Seven Lakes is beginning to round into form—and a big part of that surge starts in the middle.
Junior Willtrace Ngoh—more commonly known as Wiggles—has quickly asserted herself as not only one of Houston’s most dynamic middles, but one of the most promising across the state of Texas.
Ngoh currently leads Seven Lakes with 116 blocks on the season, while also chipping in 165 kills along the way. Her development has been fast-tracked in part by the exposure and experience she gained over the summer with her club team, Houston Juniors.
That momentum ultimately culminated in a verbal commitment to the University of Southern California at the end of September.

“She’s a high-caliber athlete, who excels at any sport she plays,” said Spartans head coach Amy Cataline. “Keep in mind, she’s only played two years of club volleyball and she’s learning the sport, which is scary. She has so much more upside. What I love is how hard of a worker she is and that she wants to learn more and more about the sport. She is just different.”
As it stands, Seven Lakes is 19-9 overall and sits at 6-3 in district play—good for third place as the Spartans enter the back half of their schedule. With postseason seeding on the line, every match from here on out carries weight.

With Ngoh on a trajectory to earn District Outstanding Blocker of the Year honors—and with consistent play from fellow standouts like Gracie Hobin (Jr. OH), Lily Lott (Sr. OH), Megan Chapman (Sr. L), and Keira Do (Sr. S)—Seven Lakes has the pieces in place to make a deep run.
For a program that last won a state title in 2020, the path back to that stage may well begin with the presence of “Wiggles” at the net.

WARNING: Do not sleep on the No. 12 Seven Lakes Spartans
SEVEN LAKES WENT 29-11 OVERALL LAST SEASON AND REACHED THE BI-DISTRICT ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS.
Four starters return as the Spartans seek a 12th-straight year of making a postseason appearance under ninth-year coach Amy Cataline (182-101 at Seven Lakes; 479 career coaching wins).
Key returners include Libero Megan Chapman (first-team, all-district; 524 digs), outside hitter Gracie Hobin (first-team, all-district, GHVCA Postseason 2nd team; 349 kills, 270 digs, 43 aces, 48 blocks), right-side/middle Nlonna Okwura (USA National Team Development Player, Under Armour Next Camp Series Athlete; 117 kills,71 blocks), outside hitter Lily Lott (second-team, all-district; 381 kills, 146 digs, 59 blocks) and Victoria Hudspeth.
Who will be the breakout player in Greater Houston this season? It will be middle blocker Willtrace “Wiggles” Ngoh, who has become the hottest name in recruiting circles after a tremendous summer.
