The featured standouts of the 2026–27 Friendswood Mustangs volleyball team.
“We have had three four-year starters graduate, so we need to establish our team ‘us’,” Paulk said. “We return great setting and middles, but will have to figure out who will pass for us.”
With a strong foundation returning and several players ready to assume larger responsibilities, Friendswood is well-equipped to remain a serious threat in 2026.

The featured standouts of the 2026–27 College Park Cavaliers volleyball team.
Junior Skylan Johnson, a first-team all-district selection a year ago, will be relied upon for steady scoring production alongside Lacy’s younger sister, Kansas commit Hailey Tinnell, another junior first-team pick who continues to emerge as one of the area’s rising talents at the middle blocker position.
The District 13-6A Newcomer of the Year, Abby DiMatteo, looks to build on an exceptional freshman debut, with expectations of making an impact in multiple phases—whether defensively or in a potential setting role. Senior outside hitters Sadie Kendrick (Central Arkansas beach volleyball commit) and Drew Cameron, both district honorable mention selections, are also positioned for expanded roles this fall.
“We are excited to get started in August,” coach Candice Collins-Gibson said. “There is so much opportunity with this upcoming squad.
With veteran leadership, strong returners and some new faces, this season will be a great opportunity for growth, achievement and excitement.” CP may be entering a new chapter, but expectations remain high as the Cavs look to continue their winning tradition.
