The Ohio High School Volleyball Coaches Association (OHSVCA) has officially released its all-state teams and coaches of the year for the 2026 state tournament, spotlighting exceptional talent across all seven divisions. Southwest Ohio dominated the announcement, with 23 players from 12 different schools earning all-state honors and two local coaches receiving statewide recognition. This prestigious list serves as the final pre-tournament validation for programs preparing to compete in the upcoming OHSAA state championship.
Key Match Highlights & Tactical Analysis
Seton High School emerged as the standout program in the region, with head coach Kelly Crowley earning coach of the year honors. Crowley has guided the Saints to a perfect 26-0 record, securing their third consecutive Girls Greater Catholic League title and a regional championship.
