All-state volleyball teams announced
Here are the seventh annual all-state volleyball teams, as selected by a panel of sportswriters from 13 newspapers around the state.
To have received recognition, a player had to have been named on at least two ballots.
Again, while it was a pain to conduct the balloting, it's a labor of love. And I want to thank my fellow prep writers for taking the time during this Christmas season. I know I snagged a couple of them as they (like I am right now) were headed out the door for some much-needed vacation time.
Congratulation to all the honorees.
