Region Leaders (2025-Wk1)

Well, isn’t this going to be interesting. This is the article that will track our region leaders but Southwestern, Trinity and NCAA have thrown a little wrench into all of this. I guess, I need to do this for both Region VI and Region X now. The only other option is to create my own region but that seems a tad silly. Let’s see how dual regions go for now.

My first cover photo of the season goes to Lauren McCarthy of Trinity who is first in the nation in Blocks/Set. This will be our weekly regional leaders’ article that highlight some of the best of the best in Regions VI and X. I will also be including top 5 teams in both regions.
