Once again, VolleyFX leads an all-start cast of performers in the annual prepvolleyball.com recognition area. Leading all players from New York State was Alyssa D'Errico who capped off a wonderful High School career with the New York State Gatorade Player of the Year Award. Straight from prep:

Alyssa D'Errico, New York State Gatorade Player of the Year:
D’Errico’s storybook career wrapped up with her making first-team all-state for the third time and winning the state tournament MVP award for a third time. The outside hitter holds the Byron-Bergen records for career kills, aces and digs. The records and awards look great on her volleyball resume, but the numbers are not what she’s going to remember...
