14 California Athletes Named to AVCA All-Region Teams

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) has released its sixth annual Girls High School Volleyball All-Region Teams, recognizing top athletes from across the country for their excellence on the court. Ten All-Region teams were announced, with states grouped geographically based on school location.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>According to the AVCA, the number of athletes selected for each region depends on the total All-America nominations received. From there, the top half of nominated players, as determined by the AVCA High School Regional Committees, earn All-Region honors.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The excitement continues as these All-Region honorees now move into consideration for the <strong>2025 AVCA High School All-America Teams</strong>, which will be announced on <strong>November 18</strong>. Those selections will include First, Second, and Third Teams, along with Honorable Mention honors.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>California continues to be one of the nation's deepest pipelines for elite volleyball talent. Fourteen athletes from across the state earned recognition on the <strong>Region 9 (Far West) Team</strong>, representing programs known for their championship pedigree, competitive schedules, and next-level development. These honorees include some of the most highly recruited athletes in the country. All but one have already made their college commitment, with Thousand Oaks sophomore <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='537526' first='Saylor' last='Halvorsen']</strong> standing out as the lone uncommitted player, a name college coaches should be watching closely.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["537526"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-690b911ee3210"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I've been following <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='537526' first='Saylor' last='Halvorsen']'s</strong> journey for quite some time, and it has been incredible to watch her growth both as an athlete and as a leader. The 6'2” outside hitter from <strong>Thousand Oaks High School</strong> and <strong>[program_tooltip program_id='876223' first='SG' last='Elite'] 16 Roshambo</strong> has continued to evolve into a confident, composed, and highly competitive player. Her athleticism, court awareness, and decision-making have taken major strides, elevating her team and catching the attention of those who have watched her steady rise. What stands out most about Saylor is her presence under pressure. Whether she is facing a double block or adapting mid-match, she does so with maturity beyond her years. She has become known for her ability to lead through composure, connection, and positivity, qualities that make her one of California's most recruitable sophomores.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reflecting on the recognition, Saylor shared, “Thank you to the AVCA! It's pretty cool to be recognized as a sophomore, especially with so many committed juniors and seniors on the list. I love my team at Thousand Oaks High School, my teammates are so fun and always supportive, and my coaches have really helped me improve and pushed me to get better. The TOHS crew is the best! I'm really looking forward to club season with my new team and coaches at [program_tooltip program_id='876223' first='SG' last='Elite'] 16 Roshambo.” Her words reflect the humility and drive that define her approach. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Off the court, she is as grounded as she is driven, a teammate who values connection, celebrates others' success, and brings energy through small traditions like team dance circles before games. Her continued recognition, including this <strong>AVCA All-Region honor</strong>, is proof that her commitment to growth is paying off. With her size, skill set, and evolving leadership, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='537526' first='Saylor' last='Halvorsen']</strong> represents the next wave of standout talent college coaches will want to keep on their radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">~ Michelle Bamford
