Carly Newton, Barnstable  DIVISION 1
		Let's face it, the debate over which team would be the Division 1 state champion was nearly over before the season began. Barnstable again stomped the competition to capture its third straight Division 1 Championship, leaving the team now boasting 74 straight wins. On a team with All-Scholastics, the best of the best was Newton, a middle blocker, Newton. With 230 kills and a .354 hitting percentage, the 5-foot-10-inch Newton had a stellar senior campaign. When she's not pounding vicious spikes, she enjoys quieter activities like sewing, surfing, and art. She's looking to land in the South for college and in the summer, she plays with the Metro West Juniors.

Molly Barrett, Medfield  DIVISION 2
		No chance this repeating All-Scholastic would drop off the planet in her senior year. After the Medfield Most Valuable Player led her team to a Division 3 state championship in 2004, she one-upped herself this season, with a Division 2 state championship. Barrett, who averaged 16-20 kills per game, boasts a long resume of honors for the season: Tri-Valley League All-Star and MVP, first-team All-State Coaches Association, and of course, Globe Player of the Year. She plays basketball and is on the honor roll. Her hobbies include going to the beach, shopping, and hanging out with friends, but she will be back to business next fall playing volleyball, though she is undecided on a college.

Sara Crandall, Mount Alvernia  DIVISION 3
		Home is where the winning is for Crandall and her Mount Alvernia teammates. Crandall's 2004 and 2005 teams were undefeated at home, and finished with a 21-2 record overall this season. The captain has been a conference all-star for four consecutive seasons and led her team to an appearance in the Division 3 Central final. Crandall, a senior, is the editor for the yearbook and the school newspaper. Although she is undecided on where she will attend college, she is planning to study physical therapy. Connolly also has found success at the Bay State Games; her Metro team was the gold medalist in 2005.

Elizabeth Auger, Barnstable  OUTSIDE HITTER
		The Acton-Boxboro football team's 52 consecutive wins cannot impress Auger and her Barnstable teammates, who have rattled off 74 wins in a row, including three straight Division 1 championships. Auger, a 5-foot-10-inch senior, is one of the most athletic members of the squad, notching 192 digs, 177 kills, 174 serves, and 29 aces. A member of the Old Colony League championship volleyball team, Auger also plays basketball, track, and softball. Oh, and she likes to surf. Next year, Auger hopes to be at Holy Cross. The Metro West Juniors will keep her occupied over the summer.

Jennifer Byrne, Chelmsford  MIDDLE BLOCKER
		Byrne played volleyball with precision for her Chelmsford team. The captain boasted a 96 percent serving accuracy. The stats go on from there: 75 blocks, 268 kills, 138 service points (including 20 aces), and 125 digs. Bryne led her team to a Merrimack Valley Conference title and was named MVC co-MVP. Her academic stats are just as impressive: She is a member of the Spanish and National Honor Societies, on the honor roll, and is ranked 15th in her class. The 5-foot-9-inch tennis all-star also plays basketball and is captain of both sports. She is undecided about college. In the summer she plays for the Merrimack Valley Juniors.

Erin Connolly, North Quincy  MIDDLE BLOCKER/HITTER
		Connolly captained a powerful North Quincy team to an undefeated season in the Atlantic Coast League and an appearance in the state semifinals. It's typical of the success she has found in four years on the varsity. In 2002, North Quincy won the state championship, she has been named a league all-star three times, and a first-team Division 1 All-State twice. This is her second All-Scholastic appearance. Connolly likes music, writing, and going to the gym in her spare time. She hopes to play volleyball and major in communications in college. In the summer, the honor roll student plays with the Mass Patriots Elite Volleyball Club.

Emily Harburg, Brookline  OUTSIDE HITTER
		One of the only juniors to make this year's All-Scholastic squad, Harburg will surely be tough to kick off next year. The 5-foot-10-inch captain collected 68 service aces, 205 kills, and 115 digs in 19 matches this season. She had over a .300 hitting average. She has been a first-team All-Star for the Bay State League and first-team All-Star Massachusetts as named by the Girls' Volleyball Coaches Association for two years in a row. The team's Most Valuable Player in 2004, Harburg is an honor roll student who also participates in crew. Harburg has many interests outside of volleyball, including guitar, babysitting, running, and skiing.

Samantha Kerivan, Andover  MIDDLE HITTER
		Andover marched to the Division 1 state finals on the back of its senior captain, Kerivan. The 5-foot-10-inch, 155-pound middle hitter couldn't get the Golden Warriors past Barnstable, but was named team Most Valuable Player for her efforts (234 kills this season). She also carries a cavalcade of other titles: Merrimack Valley Conference Co-Player of the Year, a three-time League All-Star, and a member of the All-Conference team. An honor roll student, Kerivan also won the Excellence in Chemistry Award. She is undecided on her college plans.

Kelly Maley, Lincoln-Sudbury  SETTER
		The setter in volleyball is the consummate teammate, constantly setting up teammates for glory. Nobody displayed this ability more than Malley, who averaged 35 assists per match. Put that with her 96 percent serving percentage and five aces per match and she was an easy selection for a Dual County League and Massachusetts Coaches Association First-Team All-Star. Her interests are going to the beach, shopping, and hanging out with the team. The senior is undecided about her college plans but will keep her volleyball skills sharp over the summer playing CMass Volleyball in Hudson.

Genevieve Moore, Barnstable  SETTER
		Moore and her two All-Scholastic teammates have achieved an awful lot as a team. A streak of 74 straight wins and three straight state titles come readily to mind. But Moore's individual accomplishments are what got her on this team. This year, Moore contributed 739 assists, giving her more than 1,000 for her career (1,380). She has a 93 percent serving percentage to boot. The 5-foot-8-inch senior is an honor roll student who enjoys swimming and ceramics. She's looking at Colby-Sawyer as an option for college and will participate in the Pilgrim Junior Olympics over the summer.

Katelyn Morin, Barnstable  RIGHT SIDE HITTER
		It's hard to ignore the power of Morin's presence on the court. No, not just because the senior stands 6 feet 1 inch. Rather, it's because those facing Morin know they have a good possibility of losing; it's a near certainty, actually. In four years at Barnstable, Morin has a personal record of 94-0, including a 74-0 varsity record. That's right, she's gone nearly 100 games without losing. Morin takes on a hefty schedule of all honors classes and relaxes by doing art, skiing, and swimming. She is hoping to play college volleyball and study in the medical field.

Karen Sen, Melrose  MIDDLE HITTER
		Sen can boast many personal accomplishments: She's a two-time All-Scholastic who has led her team to three consecutive Middlesex League and Division 2 North championships. But the 5-foot-11-inch captain is particularly enthusiastic about the Sportsmanship Award she received from the Middlesex League. It's not the only award she's earned; she has four Academic Excellence Awards and is in the National Honor Society. Using her height to advantage again, she contributes All-Star seasons to the Melrose basketball teams. She also plays for the Smash Volleyball Club 18's Elite team. Sen remains undecided on her college choice.

Paula Sen, Melrose  MIDDLE HITTER
		Sen and her sister, Karen, had opponents seeing double this year; the twin sisters cocaptained their Melrose team to Middlesex League and Division 2 North sectional championships, before the Red Raiders lost a close match to Medfield in the state final. But the 5-foot-11-inch North Shore Player of the Year still has basketball to look forward to. The All-League Player has led Melrose to three consecutive Middlesex League championships. When's she's finally off the basketball court, she likes to watch Laguna Beach with friends and she likes to cook. She also plays for the Smash Volleyball Club 18's Elite team.

Lauren Saylor, Case  OUTSIDE HITTER
		It's no surprise to find a Case volleyball player on this page. The Swansea school has been producing All-Scholastic athletes for years and Saylor takes her place on the honor roll this fall. A senior outside hitter, Saylor led the Cardinals to the South Coast Conference title, followed by the Division 2 South sectional title and a final record of 22-2. She is a two-time SCC All-Star and a member of the Division 2 All-State team. In the offseason, she plays for the Newport Volleyball Club, the Coastal Volleyball 18 Power, and the Bay State Games. She hopes to continue her volleyball career in college and concentrate on occupational therapy.

Helen Wu, Boston Latin  OUTSIDE HITTER
		Wu captained the Boston Latin team to the Division 1 Central/East final. Although Latin lost, 3-0, to North Quincy, Wu was named to the Dual County League All-Star first team, the All-State second team, and Latin MVP for the second year in a row. Wu is an honors student and has won the gold medal in the National Latin exam twice. She also participates in indoor track. Wu plans to go into business management in college, in the Boston area or in California. In the meantime, she will participate in Boston Freemason's A-Team, Yankee Volleyball, and the Boston Community Neighborhood Center girls' and coed volleyball teams.

Judy Katalina, Lincoln-Sudbury  DIVISION 1
		Katalina has learned many things in 17 years of coaching. She has learned how to take an undefeated (23-0) team to a state sectional semifinal and how to deal with the disappointment of losing that big game. She has learned how to lead other successful L-S teams as she has amassed a career record of 194-79. But most of all, she has learned what the word ''coach'' means to her. ''Twenty years from now, wins, losses, and stats won't be remembered,'' said Katalina. ''What should be remember fondly by athletes is the friendships they have built with their coaches. A coach is a mother, sister, nurse, friend, counselor, teacher, mentor, and role model.''

Jack Hastings, Medfield  DIVISION 2
		The Medfield volleyball team gave its coach an excellent 55th birthday present when it defeated Melrose, 3-2, to win the Division 2 state championship Nov. 20. In his second reign as Coach of the Year (1997), Hastings led his team to a 24-0 record. In 16 years, Hastings has amassed a 244-116 coaching record. He calls this year's Warrior team ''a very athletic and talented group of players.'' The Norwood High ('68) graduate and college volleyball player (Orange Coast College) is also coach of the boys' volleyball team. His hobbies include traveling and playing beach volleyball.

Kathy Swain, Norfolk Aggie  DIVISION 3
		Swain has achieved a lot in 22 years of coaching. Her teams have won 10 Mayflower League titles and five State Vocational championships ..... Wait, make that 11 and six. But Swain's 21-4 Norfolk County Agricultural team did accomplish something new this season: It was the first team in Swain's career to make it to the sectional finals in the state tournament. ''I would not have this honor if it wasn't for this year's team,'' said Swain. ''These girls played and practiced with the passion it takes to be successful.'' Swain, who seems to have played every sport but volleyball at Plymouth University (tennis, basketball, and lacrosse) enjoys golf, bicycling, and hiking.
