Some of the top high school volleyball players in the country are headed to Phoenix this weekend for the Nike Tournament of Champions. The 9th Annual Nike TOC will feature athletes headed to prestigious college programs like UCLA, Ohio State, and Florida, and under-the-radar talent ready to burst onto the national volleyball scene.

Catch these top 15 players in action at the Nike TOC by tuning in to FloVolleyball's live stream of the six courts at Arizona State's Sun Devil Fitness Center.



Note: All stats as of September 22

Jenna Ewert | Senior | Setter | Deer Valley

At only 5-foot-9, Deer Valley setter Jenna Ewert isn't going to take over a match with her physicality, but the Colorado recruit has plenty of athleticism and ball control to make up for her lack of height. Ewert, the younger sister of Stanford men's volleyball outside hitter Jordan Ewert, hits and sets for Deer Valley in a 6-2 and is second on the team in kills.

Abigail Hansen | Senior | Middle Blocker | Desert Vista

Abigail Hansen has grown four inches since her freshman year of high school, and her impact on the court has expanded accordingly. Originally committed to Arizona State, Hansen pledged herself to USC this spring, and so far this high school season she's leading the Desert Vista squad with 83 kills while hitting .394.

Whittnee Nihipali | Senior | Outside Hitter | Shadow Ridge

Arizona commit Whittnee Nihipali earned first team all-state last year after leading Shadow Ridge with 4.1 kills per set, a number that would rank her in the top 50 of NCAA Division I. This year it's more of the same for the 6-2 outside hitter, as she ranks first on the team with 158 kills, hitting .376.

Devon Chang | Senior | Setter | Santa Margarita

Last season, Santa Margarita setter Devon Chang led the Mustangs to a CIF Southern Section championship and runner-up finish in the inaugural CIF Open Division State Championship.

Brooke Nuneviller | Senior | Outside Hitter | Corona Del Sol

Five-foot-eleven outside hitter Brooke Nuneviller has benefitted from a late growth spurt, saying she's probably grown six inches since her freshman year of high school. Being small pushed the Oregon commit to develop her ball control and shot selection, and as a senior, she's her team's go-to hitter and the reigning Arizona Gatorade Player of the Year.

Reilly MacNeill | Junior | Middle Blocker | Walton

Junior middle blocker Reilly MacNeill's match-high 10 kills and three blocks were key in Walton's upset victory over Assumption in the championship match of the Ultra Ankle Louisville Invitational Volleyball Tournament.

Savannah Vach | Junior | Setter/Opposite | Oviedo

A Miami commit who wants to study business or finance in college, Savannah Vach puts her mathematical mind to work on the volleyball court for Oviedo as a setter and right side hitter for undefeated Oviedo. The 2016 MaxPreps Sophomore All-American current ranks second on the Oviedo stat sheet with 69 kills.

Tatianna Rivas | Senior | Setter | Boca Raton

Boca Raton's senior leader, captain, and three-year starting setter, Tatianna Rivas dished out 912 assists last fall, directing her team to the state championship. Undersized but accurate, Rivas will be a key to Boca Raton's continued success this fall.

Paula Cerame | Senior | Libero/Outside Hitter | St. Thomas Aquinas

Paula Cerame is committed to Florida as a libero, but this fall for St. Thomas Aquinas, she's contributing at the net in addition to ranking second on the team in digs. Despite being only 5-7, Cerame collected 28 kills in the first four matches of the season, good for second on the team.

Darian Clark | Senior | Outside Hitter | Hamilton

As a junior, Darian Clark was Hamilton's No. 2 attacker behind high school All-American Preslie Anderson (now a freshman starter at Cal). Clark, who is also headed to Cal, has stepped into Anderson's shoes and is now Hamilton's go-to offensive play with 115 kills on 301 attempts.
