Sophomore Kaitlyn Adams (Longview, TX) was named 1st Team All-Conference, while sophomores Barbara Sabino (Sao Paulo, Brazil) and Cayman Sutton (White Oak, TX) were both  named 2nd Team All-Conference selections after receiving the same award a year ago.

 

Adams has led Panola all year in kills per set with 2.36 and is third on the team in blocks per set with 0.82. She notched double-digit kills in 5 of 6 conference matches this season, including a season-high 17 kills on a blistering .483 hitting clip in the crucial road victory against Navarro. Adams also hit .300 or better in 4 of 6 Region XIV-North contests, including a 13 kill and .500 performance against TVCC to help the Fillies clinch a berth in the 2017 Region XIV Tournament.

 

Sabino was once again a dominant force at the net for the Fillies this season, coming in second on the team in both kills per set and total kills at 2.12 and 218, respectively. She was also second on the team in blocks per set with 1.17. Sabino notched 7 or more kills in 5 of 6 conference contests, including a 9 kill and .500 hitting performance against TVCC.

 

Sutton became the first setter in recent history to receive 1st or 2nd Team All-Conference recognition both years at Panola, earning another 2nd team nod as a sophomore. She leads the Fillies in assists with 644 on the year and 7.40 assists per set, tallying 30 or more total assists in 5 of 6 conference meetings. Sutton also leads the team in service aces at 0.25 per set and is fourth on the team in digs. 

"Our team has depended on various people stepping up to lead us all season in what was an extremely tough conference schedule where each night was a dogfight," said Fillies volleyball Head Coach Amber McCray. "It's difficult to be depended on to anchor our team consistently, and the fact that these players managed to do so makes them very deserving of this recognition."
