Notes From Lovejoy Scrimmages

August 8, 2022

Hannah Beauford, shown playing for Drive Nation this past club season, is looking to make an impact for Prosper this fall. The 2022 high school volleyball season is underway in Texas! Saturday, Aug. 6, vballrecruiter.com was on hand watching the Lovejoy HS scrimmages with host Lovejoy, Gunter, Prosper and Prestonwood Christian. I had a chance to see potential starting lineups along with the “off the bench” athletes finding their groove. Here is a brief preview of these teams from what I saw. Lovejoy HS has big shoes to fill but they have plenty of depth to fill in the voids. Returning for the State 5A Powerhouse program includes North Texas commit SR MB Hannah Gonzalez (3-Star Recruit), JR S Bethanie Wu (4-Star) and JR Opp/DS Reagan Fitzsimmons. Other names to start remembering are SO MB/Opp Shelby Burriss (3-Star), Illinois state move-in JR S Nicole Cornell and a trio of DS’s to watch in JR Mckenna Brand, JR Isa Camacho, and JR Kalin Carlson. Gunter HS returns a large core of the Texas UIL 3A runner up squad which includes Southern Nazarene commit SR OH Rayanna Mauldin and Texas Wesleyan commit SR MB Hanna Rubis. Other stand out athletes included UTSA commit SR Miranda Putnicki, SR L Briley Singleton, Hendrix commit SR S Adilynn Henry, JR S Brelee Mauldin and SO OH Chloe Johnson. Prestonwood Christian was the lone TAPPS school at this scrimmage. The TAPPS State runner up squad includes JR OH Jadyn Livings (5-Star), JR OH Mikala Young (4-Star), JR S Camille Edwards (5-Star), and SO L Gillian Pitts (5-Star). Newcomers include U19 USA Team athlete SO OH Macari Spears (5-Star), SO S Taylor Cook (4-Star) and JR MB Autumn Smith. Spears did not play in the scrimmage. Prosper HS returns another great lineup of returners heading into the season which include Alabama commit S SR Callie Kieffer (4-Star), Louisiana Lafayette commit SR OH Ella Chaney, Gonzaga commit SR L Brianna Martin, Nebraska commit OH/MB Ayden Ames (5-Star) and JR OH Reese Renfrow (3-Star). Newcomers looking to make an impact this season include SO S Hannah Beauford (3-Star), FR S/Opp Danielle Whitmire (5-Star), and FR MB Jayla Jackson (3-Star).
