Logan Sanders from New Braunfels Canyon is already tearing it up on the volleyball court, clocking in a mind-boggling 3,345 career assists in just three seasons! Seriously, she’s putting up numbers that make you do a double-take, especially considering she was splitting setting duties her freshman year. That kind of pace sets her apart as one of the absolute top returning setters to watch in the San Antonio area for the 2026 season. Last year alone, Sanders dropped a massive 1,405 assists in 134 sets, and over her last two seasons, she’s bagged 2,733 assists in 268 sets for an insane 10.2 average. She was an Express-News Super Team selection in 2025 for a reason, and if she keeps this up, the entire region is going to be talking about her.
The Senior Standouts Setting the Tone
It’s not just Sanders making waves; the San Antonio area is loaded with senior talent ready to dominate. Take Rylie Coates from Kerrville Tivy. This Air Force commit is a third-year starter and has earned a letter in all four years of her high school career. She even pulled in all-state honors after putting up 691 assists, 110 kills, 52 blocks, and 263 digs, all while working in a two-setter system. The American Volleyball Coaches Association has already given her national recognition, too. Then there’s Lauren Garcia from Reagan, who’s committed to Louisiana Tech. She finished strong in 2025 despite battling an injury for most of the season. She still managed a whopping 597 assists in 80 sets, averaging 7.5 assists a set! Let’s not forget her 2024 Express-News Super Team selection after a monster 1,283 assist season. This girl has 2,678 career assists, an incredible feat. And don’t sleep on Lorena Gomez from Incarnate Word. She recorded 989 assists in 121 sets (an 8.2 average), plus 361 digs and 65 aces for the Shamrocks last year. She’s stacked up 2,427 career assists in three seasons. These seniors are bringing serious firepower and experience to every match.
The Junior Phenom and Other Names to Watch
While the seniors are bringing the heat, Cornerstone’s Sydney Whisenton is a junior committed to Baylor and absolutely engineers her team’s talented attack. She racked up 524 assists, 206 kills, and 194 digs. Oh, and she was the MVP of the Nike Tournament of Champions in Florida, which is a HUGE deal. Whisenton also earned a spot on the 2025 Express-News Super Team. She’s definitely one to keep a close eye on as the season progresses. Beyond these top five, you’ve also got some other serious players to look for: Brady Cooksey from Boerne Champion (a junior), Madelynn Nagelmueller from La Vernia (a senior), Sierra Seal from Johnson (a junior), Camilla Serna from Antonian (a senior), and Kelsey Simmerman from Clark (a senior).
With talent like this lighting up the court, the 2026 volleyball season in San Antonio is shaping up to be absolutely wild. Expect these players to be slinging passes, leading attacks, and making highlight reels all year long. Get ready for some epic volleyball!
