A number of Southern Coffey County and Yates Center High volleyball players were named to the 2022 Grassland All Star Teams.
Lady Titan seniors Josie Weers earned First Team honors while Madeline Spencer took Second Team honors. Senior Ross Snovelle also took Grassland All-Stars Honorable Mention for her work at the middle hitter and setter positions.
This is another award for Weers to place on the mantle after she took a number of All-League and All-District honors following her dominant play in the fall.
The senior led her Southern Coffey County squad with 4.9 kills per set and 397 total kills while also leading with one ace serve per set and 80 aces total.
“All three of these girls were amazing this year,” said Southern Coffey County head coach Jeff True. “All three have played club volleyball since their freshman year. They are great team players and leaders for their teammates.”
Spencer was a quality defensive player while lining up at setter and middle hitter. She led the Lady Titans defensively with 1.3 digs per set and 112 total digs while also leading with 361 total assists.
SCC’s Snovelle notched a team-high 44 total blocks this past season after lining up at middle hitter and setter.
“I have absolutely loved coaching this group for the past four years,” True said. “We will miss them next year.”
FOR YATES CENTER, Lauren McConaghie was a valuable setter for the Wildcats, leading with 152 assists. Wildcat Kamdyn Trahan was tabbed to the Grassland All-Stars Honorable Mention list for good reason as well.
“Coaching these two is a joy,” said Yates Center head coach Carrie Cummings. “Always willing to learn and learning that being pushed out of their comfort zone was how they were going to get better. They are humble, quiet leaders. On and off the floor, great teammates that have everyone’s back. They are hard workers that come in during the summer.”
Trahan led Yates Center with 1.8 kills per set and 109 total kills as well as 17 total blocks. Trahan still has one more year of volleyball left heading into her senior campaign.
“Lauren McConaghie was one of our two setters on varsity, so she ran the offense half of the time for us,” Cummings said. “They are positive teammates that are encouraging to others. They had fun and got excited for their teammates’ successes.”
