Lady Lions earn post-season honors

By Sam Waller

The Albany Lady Lions placed eight players on the All-District 6-2A volleyball team, including four superlative awards.

The team was selected by a vote of the district coaches.

Sarah Cotter was named district MVP with Tristen Brown selected Offensive MVP, Robin Lucas Defensive MVP, and Clara Holson Outstanding Setter.

Ansleigh Garcia and Kiana Roberson were elected to the first team with Ashlyn Holson and Gracie Price earning second team honors.

“We represented the district well,” said Lady Lions coach M.J. Reneau, who was voted coach of the year. “I was really proud of the votes that we got. I felt like each girl was very deserving.”

Albany’s representation to the academic all-district team was even better, with 10 of 11 players honored for their work in the classroom. Academic honors are based on maintaining a grade of 90 or higher in all classes through the first two six weeks of the school year.

Cotter, Brown, Garcia, Clara Holson, Susie Cormack, Lizzie Chavez, Price, Presley Green, Roberson, and Lucas were named to the academic team.
