The Missouri High School Volleyball Coaches Association announced their all state teams this week. And they are simply loaded with Ozarks players. Class 1 is dominated by seven first team players from four different teams. Eminence, Osceola, and Winona each place two players on the first team to lead the way. Osceola’s first teamers Imani Hairston and Meghan Schrock were joined by Alexis Self on the Honorable Mention list to give Osceola the most players selected of class 1 local teams. Ash Grove and Fair Grove each had a first team selection and an honorable mention selection to lead the area squads. And Clever’s Bridget Hanafin winds up her high school volleyball career with her third all-state selection. The MHSVCA all-region teams in class 3 see only Republic and Rogersville getting three players selected. The Lady Tigers Elle Aston and Jordan Jones made first team, while Nicole Hallam made honorable mention. For Rogersville, Chloe Blount, Maddie Redfern, and Erica Heim were selected to the second team for the Lady Wildcats who are making their second consecutive trip to the final four.

A big volleyball matchup last night as class 2 state ranked Ash Grove and Fair Grove met. Ash Grove has been present in the top 10 all year while Fair Grove has just moved up in the last two weeks. But it was the Lady Eagles coming out on top 2-1 as they won the last two sets after dropping the first. Kayla Kepler lead the Fair Grove offense with 17 assists. And Branson gets a big win as they down state ranked Republic 2-1. The Lady Pirates also dropped the first set but rallied behind Cailynn Hayter’s 29 assists on the night. VOLLEYBALL Varsity

Five different class 3 teams saw time in the state’s top 10 in 2008. Mountain Grove, Mt. Vernon, Reeds Spring, Republic, and Rogersville all were recognized. And East Newton finished the season 27-4-1. It culminated with Rogersville advancing all the way to the championship match before finally falling to KC O’Hara in two games. A lot of talent has moved on from those teams. The result is that some new faces will make an impact in 2009, but some of the same teams will be heard from again. And the potential for a slightly deeper run in the postseason exists for at least one squad. |
