GIRARD OH- It was maybe the most anticipated match up of the year as undefeated Crestview strolled in to a busy Girard high school on Saturday afternoon. The game time got pushed back an hour and a half because Girard’s junior high teams earned the right to host the NE8 tournament. Girard didn’t allow the great matchup that eas supposed to happen, because they swept away the Rebels in three (25-17 25-18 25-23)
Bree Latell had an amazing game for the Indians. Coach Phil Walters said after the game simply she was “en fuego” she finished the game with 23 kills and just 2 errors. She also led the team in digs with 7. Lauren Pallone had 12 kills for Girard to add to their firepower. Girard’s serve gage Crestview problems all day. The Indians totaled 12 aces, and were led by Bailey Walters with 4. Girard’s block also stood tall as they finished with 11 blocks as a team. Myla Bertolasio and Nico Cochran both led with 3. Allison Durkin spent the day setting up the great hitters and finished with 35 assists.
Abbey Emch led the Rebels with 13 kills out of the middle. Grace Auer was also in double figures in kills with 11. Lainy Auer led in the setting category as she finished with 14 assists. Grace Auer was still able to collect a triple double by leading the team in digs with 13. She also had 10 assists.
Both teams have more big tests on the horizon. Girard will test their ability on the road on Thursday as they travel to powerhouse Gilmour Academy to close out their regular season. Crestview hits the road again on Monday as they’ll go to Austintown Fitch.

COLUMBIANA OH- Already with a conference championship under their belt, Crestview had one more opponent to end an undefeated run through the MVAC.

Grace Auer just added another triple double to her collection as she finished with 18 kills, 15 assists, and 20 digs. Abbey Emch contributed 13 kills to the cause. Lainy Auer led the team in assists with 20.

GARRETSVILLE OH- James A. Garfield Highschool played host to the Mahoning Valley Athletic Conference’s (MVAC) Gray Division championship. The Rebels went into the contest undefeated in conference play, while Garfield’s only conference loss came back on the September 8th meeting with The Lady Rebels. The Lady G-Men were feeling the crowd, as they came out in Set 1 swinging. The two teams drew even at various times in the first set; however, an 8-0 run by Crestview sealed the Set 1 win!
Garrettsville, not being wavered by defeat, grabbed an early advantage on The Lady Rebels. A lead they would end up holding for over half of the second set. The same challenges arose for The G-Men, as Crestview grabbed the momentum late, and rode it to a Rebels victory to go up in sets 2-0! A trilogy with the same script was written, as another back and forth battle in Set 3 ended on the wrong end for Garfield, clinching another conference championship for Crestview!
The win is the 65th consecutive conference match win for The Lady Rebels, as they continue their undefeated streak in conference matches (13-0) and sets (51-0). Crestview (17-0) will now meet their final conference opponent, in their second matchup with LaBrae (11-6) as The Vikings visit Garfield on Thursday, October 6th. The Lady G-Men will also be in action on Thursday, as Garfield (13-5) welcomes Brookfield (6-11) to wrap up conference play.
Congratulations to The Crestview Lady Rebels, The 2022 MVAC Gray Division Champions!
COLUMBIANA OH- The name Emch rings loud in the tradition of Crestview Volleyball. Over the last decade there’s a good bet you’d find someone named Emch patrolling the net for Coach Auer’s Rebels. If opponents thought they were done with the name, they would be sorely mistaken. Last season Abbey Emch entered the scene, and instantly showed everyone exactly what a life of learning from older Emch’s made someone capable of. Now, after a year of experience Abbey strides into her sophomore season as one of the best players in the area. No arguments.
The numbers don’t lie when you check out Abbey’s stats on the season. Emch holds the team lead in kills with 271. Leading the team in kills is particularly impressive as a middle blocker. In most programs outside hitters get set a lot more than middles. It’s extremely tough to set a middle blocker if you’re not in system, and the fact that Emch is not only a statement about her, but also the defense behind her that makes it easy for the Rebels setters to get her the ball. Emch is also hitting efficiently coming in to the day with a hitting percentage of .488. Hitting percentage is calculated by subtracting errors from kills, and putting them over total attacks. Emch leads the team in attacks with 455 and has only committed 49 errors on the year. Emch brings an awesome net presence as well on defense. She has the team lead by far with 56 of the teams 85 blocks.
Emch was able to take the time to join Anthony Hartwig this week for a sit down, and look inside her sophomore season. They also discuss what made coming into this program so easy, what other positions she’d like to play, and much more. Check out the latest Crestview volleyball Player Profile only on YSN!

COLUMBIANA OH- Crestview volleyball is the last remaining undefeated volleyball team in the YSN family, and a huge reason why is Grace Auer. Grace has found a way to put her hands in every state category the game has to offer. Auer is one of the most dynamic players that you’ll find in the area. She has put together multiple triple doubles in her career. When she’s in the back row she sets the offense up with precision. When she’s in the front row, she can swing with enough power to put a ball through a brick wall.
Alisha Auer as head coach, Grace Auer as a statistical leader, and now Lainy Auer as a new shiny tool in the chest, Crestview has plenty of AUERS in a day to beat you. Looking at Grace’s numbers this season you’ll see what we are talking about. Grace is currently sitting second on the team in kills with 215. She averages 4.1 kills per set. Then you flip the page to her assist numbers and you’ll see she leads the team with 279 assists, and averages 5.4 per set. Then, if you take a look at her dig numbers you’ll find she’s first on the team with 203 averaging 3.9 per set.
Grace took the time to join Anthony Hartwig and talk about her fantastic career. They discuss what makes this Rebels program so special, her family connections, and so much more. Check out the latest Crestview Player Profile only on YSN!
