Meet the 2022 Fox Valley Terrific 10 volleyball team
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
This year’s Terrific 10 girls volleyball team has no shortage of top senior athletes.
From outside hitters to middle blockers to setters and liberos – you’d be hard-pressed to find a more diverse and talented group of female athletes.
While all 10 excel on the volleyball court, there’s also a pair that are top performers in softball, with Rachel Koss helping Freedom win the WIAA Division 2 state title in softball this past spring and Paige Miller doing the same for the D1 softball champs from Kaukauna. Miller also turned down a scholarship offer to play volleyball at Ohio State University this past summer, opting to play softball for the University of Wisconsin.
