THE RANKINGS: Will Jada Skinner be the Next Big Thing at No. 10 Fulshear?
THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT KNOWS HOW TO GET TO THE STATE TOURNAMENT, NO MATTER THE CLASSIFICATION.
Fulshear in 2019 won the Class 4A State Championship; in 2020, they played for the Class 5A State Title and finished as the state runner-up, and in 2023 reached the State Semifinals in Class 5A.
Last season, their first year in Class 6A – Fulshear played for the Class 6A Division I State Championship and finished as the state runner-up with a 39-7 record.
Sydney Zimmerman enters year nine of leading Fulshear (270-64) and returns three starters from 2024, including District 20-6A Blocker of the Year Arayah Watson (260 kills, 150 blocks). Watson is recovering from a knee injury, however.
Other key returners include Shayne Voskuhl (MB; first-team, all-district), Daisy Voskuhl (RS; second-team, all-district) and Jada
Skinner (OH; second-team, all-district).
Keys to success in 2025 include a strong block/defense, quick offense and Skinner being a six-rotation outside hitter.
Kyanna Lopez and Shaniya Harris will also be key cogs this season. This team will build their 2025 season “Brick by Brick”. However they have been doing it, well it’s been working.
The stars of 2024-25 Fulshear Volleyball
FIRST IMPRESSION: 2023 State Finalist, No. 4 Fulshear primed to make their 6A debut
NO. 4 -- FULSHEAR CHARGERS
Head Coach: Sydney Zimmerman
2023: 40-5/UIL-5A State Semifinalists
IN JUST EIGHT SEASONS OF PLAYING VARSITY VOLLEYBALL AT FULSHEAR HIGH SCHOOL, THE CHARGERS HAVE NOW BEEN TO THE UIL STATE TOURNAMENT THREE TIMES, ALSO HAVING WON IT ALL IN 2019 WITHIN CLASS 4A.
Last season, the Chargers were back in the dance at the 5A State Tourney, after winning 40 matches to get there. Now, they make their Class 6A debut, looking to get back and winning it all in 2024 with seven starters returning.
All-State recipients Sydney Black (603 digs, 95 assists - Colorado State commit) and Bailey Warren (571 kills, 35 blocks, 295 digs - Wake Forest commit) look to lead the squad once again, with Warren, in particular, being named the District 20-5A MVP a year ago.
The District Offensive Player of the Year Lauren Witte (416 kills, 18 blocks - Dallas Baptist commit) and District Setter of the Year Alexys James (1,175 assists, 129 kills and 30 blocks - Howard University commit) also return to the huddle.
First-teamers Avery Pruitt (221 kills - Sam Houston State commit) and Yosola Adeleke (171 kills, 99 blocks - Ohio University commit) will be other players of note. Also watch for Southwestern-commit Carly Caraway and defensive specialist Kyanna Lopez.
This team is loaded with talent for ninth-year coach Sydney Zimmerman (287 career coaching wins). Keys to success include experience and leadership (all starters returning), strong outside hitters, a fast offense and a strong passing/defensive game.
