Grand Oaks Volleyball's Jaela Auguste
STAR POWER: Auguste, Carlton, Minor carry banner for VYPE's Top 50 Females of 2023-24
So, how do we rank these elite athletes?
It's a tough criterium but VYPE combines performance on a local and state level, success in multiple sports, recruiting and college commitments, level of competition and what they meant to their respective programs.
Jaela Auguste of Grand Oaks was sensational over her career. The volleyball star led Grand Oaks to a State Championship last fall in dominant fashion. She's a generational talent headed to the University of Florida. But don't forget, she is the first Grizzly to medal in State Track and Field. As a sophomore, she earned silver in the high jump at State.
Seven Lakes' Justice CarltonBradley C. Collier (VYPE)
Seven Lakes' Justice Carlton has an amazing story. She burst onto the scene as a freshman and was the next big thing on the hardwood. Carlton, however, suffered an ACL injury last summer, came back and was the MVP of the district. The University of Texas-signee was also named as a McDonald's All-American and played in front of the home crowd at the Toyota Center.
FBCA's Bayleigh Minor is a beast and she's only getting better. The junior is the biggest name in TAPPS track and field, having led the Eagles to three straight State Titles. Did you know she might even be a better volleyball player? Minor is crazy-athletic on the court and was a TAPPS all-state selection. She helped FBCA win a TAPPS State Volleyball title two years ago.
This list was so tough to rank because of the tremendous talent across all sports, but here are you Top 50 Females Stars of 2023-24.
