The top honors in the Valley Oak League all went to Manteca residents.

Zoe Kossart and Michaela Singh, representing rival Manteca Unified schools, were named Co-Most Outstanding Players on the All-VOL girls volleyball team. Shelby Jackson of reigning champion Central Catholic garnered the MVP prize.

Kossart led Sierra (7-3 VOL, 20-10 overall) to a runner-up finish after leading the Timberwolves to their first-ever league championship last year.

Central Catholic’s lone loss in league was an upset at East Union (3-7, 15-21), which snapped a 16-match VOL losing streak. The Raiders (9-1, 25-13) went on to reach the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III final, losing to top-seeded Christian Brothers.

Senior outside hitters Kossart and Singh are two-time all-league, first-team selections.  Kossart paced Sierra with 90 kills (3.3 per set) and 64 digs. Singh compiled 156 kills (4.2 per set), 22 aces, eight blocks and 98 digs. She had her best match in the final home match of her career, collecting a career-best 26 kills in a four-game win over East Union.

Manteca’s Izabella Sanchez (75 kills, 37 blocks) and Sierra’s Abigail Chapman (45 kills, 26 blocks), both senior middles, also made the first team. Mariela Navarro (76 kills, 40 blocks) earned an all-league spot for East Union.

Making the All-VOL second team for Sierra are libero Karlie Burns, outside hitter Sophia Marian and middle Alexandra Chapman. They’re joined by Manteca libero Nicole Ayala and outside hitter Genesis Mailangi and East Union’s Meritiana Luani.

Manteca’s Taimane Tu’uga, East Union’s Jatziry Garcia and Sierra’s Ellis Denny earned honorable mention.
