Which Section V girls and boys volleyball players earned all-state honors?
Since Section V combined to send five girls and boys volleyball teams to the NYSPHSAA tournament, it's safe to say some of the state's best players come from this area.
So when the all-state and all-tournament teams were recently announced, it was of no surprise to see numerous Section V athletes chosen.
On the girls side, Harley Allendale Columbia and Wayne each advanced to their respective state championship match, and Irondequoit made it to the semifinals. Webster and Spencerport's boys teams were both state runners-up.
And those are not the only Section V programs well-represented on the lists.
