Walsh Jesuit sophomore setter Kyra Coundourides was the top local pick when the All-Ohio volleyball teams were announced. Coundourides was a second team selection in Division I.

Walsh Jesuit sophomore Kyra Coundourides was seemingly always ready with a helping hand during the Warriors run to the Division I state semifinals.  The setter had the perfect touch to hand out 219 assists in 23 games through six tournament matches for the region champions.

For leading Walsh’s tournament run Coundourides is second-team All-Ohio.

Coundourides’ best match possibly came in the district finals where she handed out her tournament-best 59 assists in a five-game thriller to top defending district champ Stow-Munroe Falls and senior setter Kelly Vitt, who had 48 assists in the match.  Vitt is third-team All-Ohio.

Kent Roosevelt junior outside hitter Alli Cudworth leads a group of four honorable mention selections to round out the Division I selections. Cudworth, the Portage Trail Conference Metro Division Player of the Year, compiled 430 kills including 43 kills against Crestwood in the match that clinched the Rough Riders the division championship.

Wadsworth senior middle hitter Rachel Jones, Medina senior outside hitter Ally Peters and Ellet junior setter Christie Klinginsmith are honorable mention selections.

In Division II, three hitters are honorable-mention winners to the All-Ohio team.  PTC County Division Player of the Year Alana Woodard from Southeast won the honor as a junior, like Streetsboro middle hitter Lexi Brewster.  Field senior middle hitter Emily Mortimer was the final Division II selection.

Waterloo junior middle hitter Megan Forney is the final local selection as a Division III honorable mention pick.
