There was plenty of local girls volleyball talent across this year’s All-Channel League teams, including five players from the local area schools on the First Team.
The Dos Pueblos Chargers, who finished second in the league with a record of 10-4, had a pair of players grace the first team in libero Atasha Black and setter Halle Rillie.
Santa Barbara High also had two of its players named to the first team, which is made up of the top 10 players in the league. For the Dons, libero Tessa de Albergaria and middle hitter Nicole Schuetz made the cut after leading the team to a 9-5 league mark.
The lone member of the 8-6 San Marcos Royals to be placed on the All-League First Team was setter Josie Gamberdella.
Ventura High swept the league individual awards, with head coach Bryan Ornelas earning Coach of the Year and Kate Duffey collecting the league’s MVP honor. The Cougars went undefeated in league play at 14-0.
