Seven Lakes Sr. MB Willtrace "Wiggles" Ngoh
WIGGLES BEING WIGGLES: Seven Lakes’ Ngoh is just built different
When she pulls off those feats, she transforms into her alter ego — "Wiggles." That's what everyone knows her as.
"Wiggles is wildly athletic," coach Amy Cataline said. "I've never seen some of the things she does in my time as a coach... ever. She is so strong and explosive. Her strength is controlling the net as a middle. She's incredible."
It's been said she can dunk a basketball and hurdle a flag football defender with ease. She could probably be an elite high jumper in AAU track if she wanted.
That's Wiggles just being Wiggles, I guess.
"I wish I had a crazy story about my name," she laughed. "It came from the CoComelon TV show. It just stuck."
It's been her calling card ever since. It's like having a name like Beyoncé or LeBron in the volleyball world. Everyone knows "Wiggles."

"I'm a pretty chill person," she said. "When I get to know you, I open up a lot more. Playing volleyball, you see much more of my personality because it's my passion. I'm free out there."
But what about being a multi-sport athlete?
"I just do everything else for fun," she said. "Playing flag football was about being part of history. It was the first year it became a recognized sport, so I had to play. In basketball, I'm really good in the paint, getting rebounds and put-back layups."
After locking in on volleyball as a freshman, the legend began gaining traction. College scouts lined the baselines to watch her compete on the national club volleyball circuit.
She earned recognition from USA Volleyball and was invited to developmental tryouts. Everything was falling into place.
Then lightning struck... literally.
"The day before we left for Nationals last year, my home was struck by lightning and burned down," she explained. "We were facing so much adversity at the time, but the volleyball community helped my family so much. Seven Lakes held a fundraiser and was so great to us. At Nationals, people from across the country came up to check on me—people I had never even met before. It meant so much that the volleyball community cared for us the way they did."
After the ashes settled, life had to move forward. There was another big decision to make.
She had virtually her choice of schools... and she chose the University of Southern California.
"Recruiting is hard," she said. "You really have to take your time with it. It's very stressful starting the day you're allowed to be contacted by college coaches. You have to know what you're getting yourself into.
"It came down to the coaches at USC. I love them and trust them. I could just see myself living there and being very happy."
With her college decision in the rearview mirror, it was time to play.
Wiggles helped lead Seven Lakes to the Regional Finals last season while also accomplishing another major goal by earning a spot on the USA Volleyball U19 National Team this summer.
So what's next?
"This team means everything to me," she said. "We want to get to State for the Seven Lakes community."
"When you have 10 returners who have played together, good things happen," Cataline said.
Especially with Wiggles in the middle.

The featured standouts of the 2026–27 Seven Lakes Spartans volleyball team.
THE SETUP: No. 3 Seven Lakes | VYPE Houston Volleyball 2026 Preseason Rankings
Attention naturally turns to the attacking side for Seven Lakes, where one of the nation’s highly touted middles, Willtrace “Wiggles” Ngoh, anchors the front line. The USC commit posted more than 250 kills and 150 blocks en route to District 19-6A Blocker of the Year accolades. Beyond her exceptional showing at SLHS, Ngoh went on to compete with the USA U19 Women’s National Team over the summer and earned Under Armour All-American recognition, further solidifying her status on the elite stage.
Fellow senior Gracie Hobin, a Vanderbilt commit, is back in the mix after leading the Spartans with 428 kills, alongside 295 digs and 349 serve receptions, which would earn her a first-team all-district selection.
Nlonna Okwura (Jr. MB) is another name to watch on offense, looking to build on a second-team all-district season in which she racked up over 200 kills and nearly 120 blocks. Meanwhile, senior Emma Sabelli will help stabilize the effort as Seven Lakes’ starting defensive specialist.
