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.

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.
