2018 Miss Volleyball, All-State volleyball teams announced

Assumption — which finished 43-0 for the program’s third undefeated season — finished the season as the No. 1 team in USA Today’s national poll and was recognized as PrepVolleyball.com’s “national champion.” Assumption has won 21 state titles, all of those coming since 1992.
