Following an excellent season on the hardwood, the time has come for Main Street Preps to name its All-Sumner County volleyball teams. 

Alongside the teams will be superlatives for Player of the Year, Team of the Year, Coach of the Year, and Newcomer of the Year.

Main Street Preps received nominations from seven of the nine county schools that compete in volleyball.
