Oak Ridge put together a 27-11 campaign last fall, advancing to the Area Round of the playoffs. With five starters returning, first-year head coach Andrea Gipson inherits a squad that brings back plenty of firepower and appears poised to take another step forward in 2026.

The offense is led by Rutgers commit Allie Lindsey, who earned second-team all-district honors after recording 253 kills, 146 digs, and 62 blocks last season. East Texas A&M commit Allison Luke also returns after garnering honorable mention all-district recognition. The outside hitter finished with 200 kills and is once again expected to be a key piece of the War Eagles' attack.
