CRESTVIEW VOLLEYBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP 1) WITH ALISHA AUER

/in /by

COLUMBIANA OH- Last year was a dream season for Crestview Volleyball.  Although they’ve had plenty of success in year’s past, there was something about last season’s squad just hit different.  The Rebels made it to the Regional Finals finally being able to post up a win in Barberton.  Now, the challenge ahead of Crestview is to not lose any of the momentum.  They have graduated an important group of seniors that leave big shoes to fill.  However, the Rebels have 7 seniors in the class of 2025 so leadership won’t be dropping off any time soon.   No matter how new or familiar the faces are on the floor, the Rebels have established a culture of excellence.  There should be no reason to think that will go away. With the biggest target that’s ever been on their back, Crestview will navigate a tough schedule and try to get right back to where they were last year.

Crestview head coach Alisha Auer is back again to lead her squad.  She was able to join YSN’s Anthony Hartwig to talk about what the Rebels will look like this year. They discuss building energy on the floor, the people that make Crestview volleyball great, and much more. Check out Episode 1 of Coach’s Corner with Alisha Auer exclusively on YSN.

COLUMBIANA OH- Crestview has been one of the most consistently successful volleyball programs in the area. They are coming off a thrilling season where they finished the regular season undefeated, and came within two points of a huge upset over Independence in regionals. While they lost some key pieces to graduation, they have a handful of familiar names returning, and a ton of new faces to be excited about. Could this be the season that Crestview takes the next step and punches a ticket to Wright State? Alisha Auer hopes so as she returns for yet another season leading g this dominant program.

Coach Auer came on YSN’s Running Point this week to talk about her returning stars, and some new faces fans will have to take note of.

REBELS PREPARED FOR REGIONALS

/in /by

COLUMBIANA OH- It’s going to be the third year in a row the Crestview volleyball team will head to Barberton for a regional tournament game. The last two appearances didn’t go as planned, but they say the best way to grow is through experience. The stage will not be a surprise for this Rebels team. They know all too well what the standard is to win in Barberton. Standing in their way is state superpower Independence. The Blue Devils are trying to get to their third straight state championship. The title has eluded them the last two seasons, but they are hoping it’s three times a charm. Both teams come in to this game with an undefeated mark. The Rebels 26-0, the Blue Devils 25-0.

The Rebels have a balanced attack led by Lucy Montgomery with 293 kills. Grace Auer is also over 250 on the year, coming in with a kill count of 251. If you thought that was it for the Rebel attack, you’d be mistaken. Freshman Abbey Emch has had an impressive season with 232 kills. Shelby Rambo is no slouch in the middle either with 173 kills.

When you look at the Blue Devils offense, they don’t have anyone with over 200 kills, but they have 6 players with more than 100. They are led by freshman Aubrey Anders with 195 kills. She also has a very impressive .434 hitting percentage, only committing 34 attack errors all season. Senior Calli Prokopius has a solid 160 kills.

We had the chance to talk with Crestview head coach Alisha Auer, and the Rebel seniors to talk about this big matchup in the Purple Palace in Barberton. If you can’t make it to the game, we will have the broadcast on YSN at 6:00.
