Four Outlaws named volleyball all-league

Four stand-out volleyball players were selected to all-league teams this year, including seniors Jessie Snow and Haylee Schaab, junior Kaity Douglass and sophomore Hannah Harrer.

Snow, Schaab and Douglass were all first-team all-league picks.

Snow has been the Outlaws full-time libero for two years. Jessie served 92 percent from the service line for the season, with every serve a jump serve. Snow recorded 314 digs leading into the state playoffs.

Coach Diane Bremer said, "Jessie is an incredible competitor and the vocal force on our squad. She plays with an incredible amount of passion and skill, and coaches in our league are very familiar with her abilities. Jessie was named Qwest Player of the Game in the 2008 championship match."

Schaab moved up to varsity midway through her freshman year and has been making a name for herself ever since. Schaab logged 233 kills this season, prior to state, added 34 blocks and recorded 129 digs. Haylee was also 92-percent from the service line.

"Haylee is our seasoned net player," said Bremer. "Since she received the Qwest Player of the Game as a sophomore she has been our go-to girl. She knows how to get it done in big matches and proved it at state."

Kaity Douglass rounds out the first-team all-league selections. Douglass is a second-year varsity player and was unanimously voted first-team. Douglass was the Outlaws' solo setter throughout the season, the quarterback of the offense and played every game and every point. Kaity had a serving percentage of 95, the highest on the team, and tied with Jessie Snow for aces. Kaity logged 525 assists in league play and recorded 175 digs.

"Kaity played a huge role on our team," said Bremer. "The mental toughness required to execute our offense and be a defensive player was more than I could have asked for. She was also the bond between our veteran players and our rookies. She pulled them all together."

Hannah Harrer is a second-year varsity player and was named second-team all-league. Harrer plays at middle and led the Outlaws with 260 kills. Hannah also led the team in blocks and logged 100 in league play leading up to the state tournament. Harrer had a 92-percent service record.

Bremer said, "When I brought Hannah up to varsity as a freshman she was a little raw, but with one year under her belt as a sophomore, she took off like wildfire. There's not a coach in the league that's not aware of her. She's a very humble player, and I love her attitude. She's a joy to coach and I look forward to coaching her for two more years."
