CYNTHIANA, KY. – After finishing off their best volleyball season in the history of the program, two members of Coach Stephanie Sosby’s Bourbon County Lady Colonel Volleyball Team (Kyra Curtis and Haley Kitchen) were honored for their

outstanding play throughout the year by earning a spot on the 10th Region Coaches Association’s All-Region Second Team.

The two seniors, along with the rest of the squad, led Bourbon to the second best record in the region (24-12) and the most wins in a season by a Lady Colonel Volleyball team. Curtis and Kitchen were also part of a senior class at BCHS that will leave the program as the all-time winningest senior volleyball class.

Heading the first team was Aryah Myrick from Bracken County, who was voted as the Region’s Player of the Year by the coaches. Joining her on the first team were Katie Stonich (Harrison County), Olivia Crowl (Campbell County), Keaton Mossman (Scott High), Marie Kieffer (Bishop Brossart) Anna Wolf (Calvary Christian) and Rylee McKinney (Campbell County).

Named to the second team were Kyra Curtis (Bourbon County), Ansley Shields (Montgomery County), Gabby Kallmeyer (Scott High), Lauren

Heck (Bishop Brossart), Haley Kit hen (Bourbon County), Emily White (Nicholas County) and Caroline Abney (Calvary Christian).

Named to the honorable mention team were Aly Keuper (Bracken County), Raele Ruschman (Bishop Brossart), Samantha Verst (Pendleton County), Kasey Martin (Campbell County), Maddy Pond (Campbell County), Madison Kelsch (Augusta), Justina Klee (St. Patrick), Cristina Castelletti (Robertson County), Halie Rise (Montgomery County) and Ella Schloemer (Campbell County.

Campbell County knocked off Scott High in the 10th Region Championship game to defend their title they won a year ago. The Campbell and Scott final marked the 16th time out of the past 17 region finals that the title game was played by two teams from Northern Kentucky. Harrison County kept it from being a clean sweep when they eliminated Bishop Brossart in the quarterfinal last season.
