Trending
Tristyn Wright and Evie Davis capped off their volleyball seasons by being named to the all-North Central Conference teams for Webster City.
Wright, a senior, was selected to the first in the Tradition division while Davis, a junior, made the second.
The Lynx went 20-15 this year, placing fourth in the division standings with a 5-6 record.
"I am happy to see the NCC coaches acknowledge the abilities of both Tristyn and Evie on the volleyball court this season," WCHS head coach Jess Howard said.
Wright tallied a team-leading 215 kills with 237 digs, 22 blocks and 36 service aces. She was successful on 92 percent of 257 total serve attempts this year.
"Tristyn was a sound player for us both offensively and defensively," Howard said. "She was a versatile attacker and a threat from anywhere on the court. Defensively, she did a great job of reading hitters and our blockers to keep balls alive and in system for us.
"Tristyn was a leader for the team both on and off the court and will be missed next season."
Davis had 139 kills and a team-high 117 blocks, including 46 solo blocks. She ranked third in the state in blocks heading into the state tournament while leading the NCC.
"Evie had a standout junior season for us at the net," Howard said. "She broke her single-season block record this season with 117 (she held the previous record with 105) and currently sits seven back on the career block record for Webster City.
"She was a huge defensive threat for us this season, but I’m most impressed with the continued improvement she made all season offensively with speeding up her offensive approach. The gains she made with her quickness, efficiency and power throughout the season were impressive and noticed by the conference coaches."
Webster City graduates seniors Wright, Kaitlyn Winkler, Charlee Olson, Avery Poppen and Amanda Lahr, with Davis, Isabel Weinschenk, Tessa Hansen, Allison Arends, Elsie Pruismann, Jaylyn Bahrenfuss and Briley VanDeer all set to return.
