EDWARDSBURG — Division 2 state quarterfinalist Edwardsburg was rewarded with four players earning Michigan Interscholastic Volleyball Coaches Association All-State honors.

Senior Brooklyn Broadway was a second-team selection, while Emma Strefling, Paige Miller and Sophie Overmyer were named to the honorable mention portion of the squad.

“This group of seniors is like no else,” said Edwardsburg coach Nikki Bush. “The way they were able to overcome what this season threw at them shows their grit as well as their maturity as players. We went from playing three weeks outdoors playing in a track, not sure if we were having a season, losing our all-state libero for six weeks to winning conference, winning districts against a very strong and rival Niles team, to knocking out rival Hamilton and winning regionals. I’m hoping the underclassmen recognize that we’ve now set the bar a little higher, and they are going to have big shoes to fill.”

Grand Rapids Christian, ranked No. 1 in Division 2, and the Eddies’ quarterfinal opponents on Jan. 12, had two players earn first team All-State — Addie VanderWeide and Lauren Peal — and also had a total of four on the team.
