We are in a Renaissance of women’s sports like we have never seen.
Social media, television, live streaming, marketing, big personalities, and the elevated level of play have all collided in a perfect storm—and women are riding the wave with style and swagger.
Caitlyn, Angel, Paige, Harper, Madisen, Livvy, Birdie—these aren’t household names; they’re the life blood of Madison Avenue’s next ad campaigns.
Female high school and college athletes are building their social platforms at an astounding pace.
It’s nothing short of brilliant.
Big brands are clamoring to connect with these micro and macro influencers, who are redefining what it means to be an athlete in 2025.
These girls aren’t just running side hustles for coffee money; they’re captaining empires—collaborating with athletic wear giants, skincare powerhouses, and everything in between.
In Greater Houston, volleyball isn’t just a sport—it’s the epicenter of elite talent and marketable athletes.
Flip through the pages of our 2025 VYPE Volleyball preview and you’ll see what we mean.
Winning and recruiting don’t hurt, either—everyone loves a winner, right? And the biggest influencer in Texas high school volleyball? None other than Grand Oaks. With back-to-back UIL Class 6A titles under their belt, they’re gunning for a historic third.
At the heart of the Grizzly den is the nation’s next big star—Halle Thompson. She’s not just the pride of Texas volleyball; she’s heading to Wisconsin, taking her talents and brand to the national stage.
This year’s cover girls weren’t chosen by accident.
Marketability, elite-level play, and college signings—these are the pieces of the new sports business puzzle. Because today, being really good isn’t enough anymore.
It’s time to connect all the dots.
See you all on the court in 2025.

College Park Sr. Setter Caroline Prihoda

History isn't made by accident -- and incoming senior Caroline Prihoda knows that better than most.
As the setter for College Park, Prihoda was a driving force behind one of the program’s most memorable seasons, helping lift the team to its first-ever UIL State Tournament appearance last fall. But she isn’t finished yet.
Now, entering her final year with the Cavaliers and committed to play for the University of Kentucky, Prihoda is focused on demonstrating that last season wasn’t a fluke.
“Because we’re in such a competitive district to begin with, I feel that the team is going to enter each match knowing that something is at stake,” Prihoda said. “After finishing third at State last year, we need to know that each point is going to be a battle and nothing will be given to us moving forward.”

That battle-tested mentality comes from experience. In 2024, Prihoda earned Co-Setter of the Year honors in District 13-6A and was named a GHCVA First-Team selection in Class6A.
Her consistency and court awareness were vital to College Park’s playoff push, which ended in a State Semifinal loss to eventual 6A-Division II champion Byron Nelson. Still, last year’s run wasn’t a one-player show.
Defensive anchor Morgan Madison—the district’s Defensive MVP and an All-Tournament pick at State—was widely regarded as the team’s backbone. With Madison now at Baylor University, Prihoda and her fellow veterans know it’s up to them to sustain the program’s momentum.

“The torch isn’t just going to be passed to me,” said Prihoda. “We have four seniors this year who are returning varsity players, and most of us have played together since we were in about second grade. It honestly comes down to all of us.”
That shared history, she believes, will be key—especially in a season where external uncertainties may start to surface.
“It’s going to be our responsibility to ensure that the chemistry remains strong, since we might face doubts, now that we have to compensate for Morgan’s absence,” she said. “As long as we can get that confidence back again, I’m sure we can make a similar run.”

Confidence, for Prihoda, has never been an issue. In February, she announced her commitment to Kentucky, where she’ll soon join former Cinco Ranch star Kassie O’Brien and a respected SEC program. Her decision, she acknowledged, was about more than volleyball.
“When I went on my official visit, their coaching staff was easily the best I had come to know,” Prihoda explained. “Coach [Craig] Skinner emphasized that Kentucky doesn’t just recruit exceptional players—they intend to bring on exceptional individuals.
“That led me to meeting the team, and I just fell in love with them—the type of people they are, how they carry themselves, and the fact that they lead by example. The unity of it all really stood out to me.”
As her closing year begins, Prihoda isn’t just setting the ball—she’s setting the tone.
With a deep understanding of the game, a loyal core of teammates, and a drive to build on last year’s tremendous success, she enters her senior season not as a follower of history—but as a leader shaping it.
