LEXINGTON, Ky. (October 29, 2018) – The Kentucky Volleyball Coaches Association is pleased to announce its 2018 All-State Teams, Ms. Kentucky Volleyball, KVCA Defensive Player of the Year and KVCA Coach of the Year. Each All-State team features at least two athletes from both AA and A programs.

 

Rylee Rader of Assumption High School is the 2018 Ms. Kentucky Volleyball.

Rader is the sixth KVCA Ms. Kentucky Volleyball awarded to a student-athlete at Assumption.

 

Eleanor Beavin of Mercy Academy is the 2018 KVCA Defensive Player of the Year. Beavin is the inaugural winner of the KVCA Defensive Player of the Year. Kentucky has established itself as one the premier states in terms of developing and producing top college liberos with the likes of Morgan Hentz at Stanford and Kenzie Maloney at Nebraska. Beavin, a sophomore libero, led Mercy with over 500 digs at a pace of nearly 6 per set. Mercy ended the season by winning its 20th consecutive Region 6 championship and runner-up finish at the KHSAA State Tournament.

 

Coach Ron Kordes of Assumption High School is the 2018 KVCA Coach of the Year. This is the first season in which the KVCA has selected a Coach of the Year.
