Sparta junior Addie Kent was the team’s top all-conference honoree in a season that the Spartans hope was a sign of bright days ahead for the program.
Kent was named to the All-MVC first team for her work throughout the fall, which included a team-high 543 digs to go along with 34 aces.
Tomah senior Brielle Plueger finished her high school career by also garnering first-team honors. Plueger was a pivotal all-around contributor for the Timberwolves, wrapping up the season with 154 kills, 54 aces, 264 digs and 367 assists.
Sparta sophomore Maddie Tadisch and Tomah sophomore Myla Hableman each landed on the second team to round out area all-conference selections.
Holmen middle hitter Moria Linse capped off her high school career by being named the Mississippi Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Year for the 2026 season. The honor comes after Linse earned All-MVC first-team recognition as a junior.
Linse finished with 215 kills to go along with 31 aces, 48 total blocks and 110 digs. During her decorated senior season, Linse reached the 500-kill milestone and finished her career with 565 kills.
On the defensive side, Onalaska's McKenzie Bauer was named MVC Defensive Player of the year. Bauer finished her junior year with 356 digs, bringing her career total to 1,115.
Linse and Bauer were joined on the All-MVC first team by Kent, Central seniors Mady Young and Ellie Gillitzer and Holmen senior Kaila Caseberg. Central's Haley Williams was named MVC Coach of the Year.
The Vikings had another player earn all-conference recognition, as senior Makenna Keer was named to the All-MVC second team. Bauer’s Hilltoppers teammate Kendall Carlson also earned second-team honors.
The remainder of the All-MVC second team included Hableman, Tadisch, Central senior McKenna Michales, Logan senior Lilly Dettwiler and Aquinas senior Adelaide Bezemek.
