Division V 2028 All-Ohio Honorees

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">DV 2nd Team All-Ohio</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Dimacchia is an athlete, one that competes well across all sports seasons for her high school. In the fall, she is a major force on the volleyball court as the 5'10 pin is left handed and a big jumper. Elyria Catholic, the top-ranked DV team at the end of the poll season, finished 23-3 overall with a recent 3-1 loss to Lake Catholic in the regional final round. Dimacchia was their top offensive threat at 4.7 k/s while leading them on the defensive side as well at 6.3 d/s. As she helped elevate her Spirit VC team during the club season, the all-Ohio 2nd team member was just as impressive during the fall for a team that will return all of their key components next year.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">DV 3rd Team All-Ohio</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Another key member to that high performing Spirt VC 15U team over the past club cycle, Hotz was a major factor for Huron and their high success in 2025. Their 21-6 record overall was an upgrade from 2024 (14-10) as Hotz controlled their offense with 867 total assists on the season. She was also a big factor on defense with 11.5 d/m. She has continued to hone her skills in her movement, location, tempo, and decision-making that allowed her Huron fellow sophomore arms to find good opportunities to score, which helped her land on the DV 3rd team.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Loncar was also a DV 3rd team all-Ohio selection as she has been leading Lake Catholic defensively all season. She has picked up 531 total digs for a 22.1 d/m average to lead all Ohio 2028 DS/L prospects. With a regional final win last weekend, the Cougars will take on a Summit Country Day team that features the top Ohio senior prospect, which Loncar will have the opportunity to showcase her skills versus one of the most potent arms in the nation. </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">DV Honorable Mention All-Ohio</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Huron was one step from the state semifinal round as they bowed out to Pleasant last weekend in a 3-0 loss. Foster was a key part of their young group of athletes that will have them competing well in future seasons. With a 3.0 k/s average, she was second on the team in total kills with 280, while leading Huron in offensive efficiency. She is a versatile attacker with ability to score from multiple attack zones with good command of her arm to swing for control and placement or in putting some pace behind the ball.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Others to Note</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">The 6'0 middle (*pictured) led Huron offensively with 288 total kills to create good balance with her pin teammate and offensive counterpart in Foster. She averaged 3.1 k/s in addition to 2.3 b/m as she can get it done at the net on both sides of the ball. Featured previously for her length and athleticism, Smith is a premier prospect given her physical tools and the results she can create upon contact with the ball when on time in the air and with good space. This Huron team will be one others will be talking about at the start of the Fall 2026 season as their 2025 rise was noticeable due to this young corps of prospects.</p>
