THE 6-ROTATION: Why Not Us? The Stony Point Tigers on the prowl

Stony Point enters the 2026 season with plenty of momentum after finishing 26-16 a year ago, and coach Julie Miller believes this group is ready to take the next step.

The Tigers return a talented core featuring outside hitter Iyanna Herzog, middle blocker Denariah Bosier, outside hitter Zoe Janda, libero Julia Howser and right side/middle blocker Natalia Lineberger.

The theme for this season is simple: "Why Not Us?"









Two players poised for breakout seasons are senior outside hitter Ella Larbi and junior right side Ryleigh Sapp, both of whom are expected to take on much larger roles in 2026.

“These young ladies are relentless and fight hard through everything they do,” Miller said. “They have high expectations for themselves, and their work ethic is amazing. We return a strong offensive group and can't wait to show people what we are made of.”

With an experienced core, emerging playmakers and a team built around belief and determination, Stony Point has all the ingredients to make plenty of noise this season.
