Following voting amongst Four Rivers Conference (FRC) and Class 3, District 8 volleyball coaches, a trio of Jamie Ridenhour’s varsity Dutchgirl volleyball players were selected to their respective teams.

Senior Kyla Hendrix was an All-FRC Honorable Mention selection in addition to an All-District First Team pick during her senior season.

Leading the team with 179 kills, Hendrix recorded a season-high 13 kills against Capital City. She also recorded a season-high 21 blocks against the Lady Cavaliers.

In the serving department, Hendrix served up a season-high five aces against St. James late in the season.

Finishing with 211 digs, Hendrix put up a season-high 15 in matches against Steelville and New Haven.

Second on the team with 252 assists, Hendrix dished out a season-high 20 of them against Steelville.

Junior Josie Gerlemann also earned multiple postseason honors being named to the All-FRC Honorable Mention and All-District Second Teams.

Second on the team with 153 kills, Gerlemann amassed a season-best 11 in matches against Rolla and Southern Boone.
