The 2016 All-State First Team boasts many repeat honorees, including Bethlehem Academy senior Payton Nutter. Nutter was a finalist for the Ms. Baden Volleyball Player of the Year and has been named to the All-State First Team for four straight years.

Three other seniors included in this year’s First Team are three-time representatives, including Concordia Academy’s Erin Fallert, Belle Plaine’s Mariena Hayden, and Sydney HIlley of Champlin Park. Hayden tallied 530 kills and 98 service aces on the season. Hilley, who contributed 490 kills to Champlin Park’s Class 3A runner-up season, was named the 2016 Ms. Baden Volleyball Player of the Year.

To be included on the all-state teams, a player must first be nominated by her coach, then upon the season’s conclusion, be selected by the section representatives panel. All-state teams are sponsored by the Minnesota Volleyball Coaches Association.
