Washington High School All-State Teams: Class 1A

<p>A remarkable high school volleyball season came to an end at the end of November in the state of Washington. After a shortened season earlier this season, it was refreshing to see the prospects being able to compete in a full calendar once again.</p> <p>We spent the last two weeks highlighting the players who stood out over the last few months and sharing with you our own Prep Dig All-State Teams, selected by division and graduation year.</p> <p>This past week, the Washington Coaches Association released their All-State teams, a comprehensive list that selected players from every corner of the Evergreen State. We’re publishing the lists here this week and today we’ll reveal the players who made the cut in Class 1A.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Players of the Year</strong></p> <p><strong>Diya Mishra – Outside Hitter – HS: Overlake – Club: Sudden Impact – 2022</strong></p> <p>Capable of playing as an outside hitter or a middle blocker, Diya Mishra has been an impactful player for Overlake in her entire high school career. The 5’11” outside hitter has consistently produced for the team and that was also the case this season, when, named as one of the captains, Mishra tallied 257 kills, 104 digs, 146 passes, 58 blocks and 52 aces.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Olivia Strandberg – Outside Hitter – HS: Chelan – Club: North Central Washington Volleyball Club - 2023</strong></p> <p>A key player for the division’s back-to-back champions, Olivia Strandberg certainly deserves the nod here. Awarded as the district’s Player of the Year, the 5’10” outside hitter is mostly known for her offensive power, but she’s a very complete player, who excels in every area of the game, a result of working hard as a beach volleyball prospect as well.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>First Team</strong></p> <p><strong>Outside Hitters/Right Siders – </strong>Diya Mishra (Overlake, 2022), Olivia Strandberg (Chelan, 2023), Finnley Claeys (Meridian, 2022), Brooke Wirkkala (Castle Rock, 2022)</p> <p><strong>Middle Blockers - </strong>Ashley Boswell (Freeman, 2022), Rae Wartelle (Annie Wright, 2023)</p> <p><strong>Setters — </strong>Juliana Perez (Chelan, 2023), McKynnlie Dalan (Montesano, 2023)</p> <p><strong>Libero -</strong> Morgyn Harrison (Chelan, 2022)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Second Team</strong></p> <p><strong>Outside Hitters/Right Siders -</strong> [player_tooltip player_id="97313" first="Ella" last="Schoene"] (La Center, 2023), Kim Tercero (Cascade Christian, 2022), Brynn Widner (Zillah, 2022), Kira Sandoval (Chelan, 2023), Tara Hutchinson (Annie Wright, 2022), Zoe Hardy (College Place, 2023)</p> <p><strong>Middle Blockers —</strong> Chloe Kennedy (Hoquiam, 2023), Bridget Young (King’s Way Christian, 2022)</p> <p><strong>Setters</strong> <strong>— </strong>Elena Kong (Eastside Prep, 2023), Kamalani Enomoto (Annie Wright, 2023), Malaysia Smith (Meridian, 2022)</p> <p><strong>Libero —</strong> Sunshine Watkins (Castle Rock, 2022)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Honorable Mention</strong></p> <p><strong>Outside Hitters/Right Siders -</strong> Sophie Stephenson (Bush, 2022), Maiya Gonzalez (Seattle Academy, 2022), Ally Williams (Chelan, 2022), Jessica Stires (Lakeside, 2022), Jolena Hoefer (Meridian, 2022)</p> <p><strong>Middle Blockers —</strong> Amanda Bussard (Cascade Christian, 2022), Kynsi Bayes (Castle Rock, 2024), Maeve Thompson (College Place, 2022), Paige Kessler (Castle Rock, 2023), Ellee Marlow (Wahluke, 2022)</p> <p><strong>Setters —</strong> Mayce Wofford (Zillah, 2022), Kate Piasecki (Charles Wright, 2022), Grace Jones (South Whidbey, 2024), Jenna Hill (College Place, 2023), Jordyn Gesser (Seton Catholic, 2022), Abie Amend (Freeman, 2022)</p> <p><strong>Liberos —</strong> Avery Neal (Meridian, 2023), Ryma Patil (Overlake, 2023), Cassandra Barragan (Naches Valley, 2022), Mamiko Patterson (Lakeside, 2022)</p>
