Two Ada High School senior hitters topped the four Bulldog representatives named to the All-Blanchard Valley Conference volleyball teams in voting recently conducted by the league coaches.

Bulldog senior Brooklyn Andreasen was named first-team All-BVC. In the regular season, she knocked down 201 kills and made 26 blocks, 18 of which were solo stops. She hustled up 74 digs and served 29 aces.

Hard-hitting senior Dailah Preston was voted second-team All-BVC. She led the team in kills with 224, as well as in blocks with 36 solos and 12 assisted blocks.

Versatile sophomore Tea Griffith and sophomore defensive ace Lucy Carter each made honorable mention all-league.

Griffith drilled 151 kills, mustered 165 digs, dealt a team-best 55 aces and made 25 blocks (10 solo). She also passed out a team-high 339 assists.

Carter led the Bulldogs with 349 digs. She also served 23 aces.

After winning their first tournament match, Ada is now 17-5 overall. The Bulldogs posted a 5-4 record in BVC play to finish fifth in the tough 10-team league. 

Leipsic won the BVC title outright with a 9-0 record. Arlington and Van Buren tied for second at 7-2. Elmwood came in fourth at 6-3, just ahead of the Bulldogs. McComb was sixth at 4-5.

Ada fashioned its best regular season record in several years under first-year head coach Kylie Murphy.
