Six local high school student-athletes were named to the New Hampshire Volleyball Coaches Association all-state list this week.
Concord High’s Olive Kelley topped the list with a first-team mention in Division I. The outside hitter was a force at the net and reached 100 career blocks for the Crimson Tide. Senior setter Megan Wimpey also earned an honorable mention in D-I.
Coe-Brown junior outside hitter Addison Albin was named to the Division II second team after helping the Bears reach the state tournament. Her strong play helped CBNA get a big five-set upset win over eventual champion Oyster River to close out the regular season.
In Division III, Belmont senior outside hitter Sadie Sturgeon was on the second team and junior setter Lillian Sheehan was an honorable mention. Winnisquam junior outside hitter Sophie Fair joined Sturgeon on the second team.
