ALL-CITY VOLLEYBALL: FALL 2023

ALL-CITY VOLLEYBALL

Most Valuable Player

Cala Cooper (Sr. Skyridge): “She was the difference in every match this year,” said Coach Silver Fonua. “She made timely kills and was by far our best one-on-one blocker. Her constant communication to teammates, from strategic instruction given, encouragement to her teammates when the team was struggling or a high-five, demonstrated maturity and leadership. This was one of the major keys to our success.” Right side and middlehitter contributed 227 kills (42%), 58 combined blocks and 39digs.  

Most Inspirational Player

Mary Nahinu (Jr. Skyridge): Spirited libero served 32 aces (154 points), made 270 digs (9.0 d/m), provided 67 assists and tallied 397 serve-receives (13.2 r/m). “She is the charger for our team,” said Coach Silver Fonua. “When the team’s energy is low, Mary recharges us. You can hear her every play as she is reading the opposing team’s next move. Her willingness to chase every ball down inspires the team to do the same and sacrifice everything for the team. The energy you see in the game matches what she shows in every practice we have. She pushes us and will even pull us when we need it.”
