LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Three of Texas' signees for the 2010 academic year have been named to the American Volleyball Coaches Association's (AVCA) fourth annual Under Armour Girls High School All-America Teams. Hannah Allison (Siloam Springs, Ark.) earned first-team honors and will appear in the Under Armour All-America Volleyball Match & Skills Competition. Haley Cameron (La Jolla, Calif.) and Sarah Palmer (Kailua, Hawaii) were named to the second team. For the first time in the award's four-year history, the organization is awarding honorable mention accolades in addition to the 24-member First-and-Second-Teams. The 100 players represent 27 states and 81 high schools. Many have already committed to play collegiate volleyball at some of the top programs in the country.
