THE RANKINGS: Bar has been set high for No. 22 Barbers Hill
BARBERS HILL WENT 35-14 OVERALL A YEAR AGO AND REACHED THE AREA ROUND OF THE POSTSEASON.
Sixth-year coach Casey Veen (174-40 at Barbers Hill; 373-133 overall) returns three starters off that team as they seek a 24th-straight playoff appearance in 2025.
District 19-5A Newcomer of the Year Kenli Irwin is back after registering 565 kills, 301 digs, 69aces and 58 blocks. Irwin was also named GHVCA Newcomer of the Year and TGCA All-State.
Setter/Pin stars Baylee Foster (556 assists,86 aces, 71 kills) and Julianne Melancon (720 assists, 71 kills, 69 aces) are back after earning first-team, all-district team nods.
“This group communicates well, is extremely competitive, and has played together in years past, but this will be a learning curve playing on varsity for some. If the team can play smart, but not scared, and apply pressure to our opponents, then we will continue our tradition of success,” Veen said.
