Because the playoffs descend on the nation and groups work in direction of being topped state champions, VolleyballMag.com presents its ION Listing, the highest highschool performers in every of the 50 states plus D.C. so far within the 2023 fall season. It’s like a “watch listing,” however with a cuter title. These are gamers to regulate … ION … get it?
Whereas we’ve been paying consideration since first serve in mid-August, the duty of figuring out the highest gamers started in earnest two weeks in the past. Greater than 200 highschool coaches and media sources have been consulted and requested: “Who’re the very best gamers in your state, primarily based on their play up to now in 2023?”
Opinions different, however finally a consensus emerged of the gamers most deserving of recognition. In smaller states or these nonetheless looking for their volleyball footing, the ION Listing solely goes 5 gamers deep. In powerhouse states like Ohio, Florida, Texas and California, the ION Listing exceeds 15 gamers. If coaches couldn’t select between two or three on the margin, we included all of them. That’s why some lists, which needs to be 5 gamers, are six. Or eight. The extra the merrier.
On the finish of the 12 months, VolleyballMag.com will select a Participant of the 12 months from each state. We’re not saying that the winners will come from the ION Listing, nevertheless it actually is an efficient first useful resource.
