Region Leaders (2025-Wk4)

My cover photo this week goes to Mya Ray of La Verne who is fourth in the nation in Points/Set and fifth in Kills/Set. This is 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. (A quick shoutout to Greensboro’s Payton Shiflet who played at Southwestern last year before transferring back to Greensboro. She was injured most of the season but you could see the talent whenever she stepped on to the court. I’m really glad she’s doing well this season.)
