Section V has never lacked in high school girls' volleyball talent.
More than 100 schools comprise New York’s largest section. Among them are hundreds of players aiming to make their names known across Section V and beyond.
We used early-season results submitted to us, returning all-star selections and input from coaches to create a list highlighting 174 of the area's top players. See them listed alphabetically below.
Classes AAA, AA and A constitute large schools. Small schools include classes B, C and D.
