There are some really great teams coming out of this small area, and Steubenville Big Red is one of those teams that are looking like they could surprise some people this season.
Steubenville Big Red had a conference record last season of 3-2 and overall record of 10-12. That being said, they are looking to improve on that record this season, returning some key players that will be crucial in winning games.
Middle Hitter, Tori Mitchell, who not only led the team last season in both, blocks and kills but led the OVAC 5A division as well. She will be a go to player this year again and I am sure they will be placing a lot of the weight on her shoulders but from what I saw at the couple summer leagues I’ve watched her in, it won’t be a problem. Also returning is fellow Senior, Mea Lulla, who led in digs last season, along with Juniors, Sarah Allen and Julia Arlesic, who round out the returning playmakers for Big Red.
With a mix of returning player and some new faces to the roster this season, Steubenville has a little bit of work to do. However, I think they will make a run for that 5A OVAC title again this season. I am excited to watch how they progress during the regular season and see if they can clench the 5A title again this year.
