You can’t talk about Cotter’s regional championship without talking about big sister Myah McNutt Myah McNutt 5'11" | MB/OH Cotter | 2028 AR .

While younger sister Lily was putting up monster numbers, Myah was doing her part, finishing with 17 kills and 10 digs in the Lady Warriors’ five-set victory over St. Joseph.

And Myah has been making some history of her own. According to the Baxter Bulletin, she moved into second place on Cotter’s all-time career kills list Wednesday, passing Kenna Collins’ previous mark of 584.

I’ve been able to watch some of Myah’s play early in her high school career, and one thing that stood out, even as a freshman and sophomore, was her ability to get on top of the ball. She does a great job adjusting to sets that aren’t always perfect and still finding a way to put the ball down with authority.

She’s also a tremendous all-around athlete. Away from the volleyball court, Myah is an accomplished softball player and an outstanding pitcher.

The best part for Cotter? Myah still has another year of high school volleyball ahead of her, and the Lady Warriors aren’t losing much from this year’s roster.I’m looking forward to seeing how Myah performs against strong competition at the state tournament. Cotter has put together an impressive season, but the road won’t be easy. A tough Mansfield squad is lurking on their side of the bracket.

And one more milestone worth mentioning: Coach Guthrie picked up her 125th career victory as Cotter’s head coach. Congratulations, Coach!

I’m excited to watch the McNutt sisters and the rest of the Lady Warriors when state tournament play gets underway next week in Piggott.
