The featured standouts of the 2026–27 Grand Oaks Grizzlies volleyball team.
THE SETUP: No. 7 Grand Oaks | VYPE Houston Volleyball 2026 Preseason Rankings
In recent years, it has almost become expected that Grand Oaks would make extended playoff runs—a reflection of the consistency and development instilled by head coach Morgan Rogers and her staff.
This past campaign followed a familiar script, as the Grizzlies captured another undefeated district title before advancing to the Region II Final, where they fell to Cypress Ranch, narrowly missing a chance at a third consecutive UIL state championship and closing the year at 37-9.
The departures of staples such as Halle Thompson (Wisconsin) and Cali Reece (Houston) may give some reason to question a potential drop-off. However, Rogers’ roster remains too deep to overlook the emergence of the next wave at Grand Oaks.
Outside hitters Kate Bull and Mia Owens (Mercer commit) will headline Grand Oaks’ new-look attacking front. Bull, now a junior, received all-district honorable mention while registering just over 200 kills and 170 serve receptions, while senior Owens earned second-team honors, contributing 112 kills and 37 blocks. Both will be expected to assume larger roles alongside senior middle Peyton Wiley, another honorable mention selection who led the team with 49 blocks.
Seniors Taylor Jennings and Adalynn Smith provide additional veteran presence on offense, along with sophomore Reese Baillio, while junior setter Lauren Duarte steps in to help orchestrate the team’s efforts.
