Outlook: St. Philip is coming off another district title and advanced to the regional finals a year ago, finishing ranked in the state in Division 4. The Tigers are very deep in 2026 with five returning starters, including seniors Addi Dzwik at setter, Adriana Olsen at middle hitter, Mylee Grimm at defensive specialist and Ava Hood at opposite hitter. St. Philip also bring back sophomore Quinn Dzwik at outside hitter. Adding to that depth, St. Philip will add three players from the Calhoun Christian program as that school did not have enough girls to field a team. According to Groat, "We have a lot of experience returning from last year, and we are looking to improve on last year's season. Looking forward to the season. This is a great group of girls, and they have been working hard. They have great attitudes and good chemistry so looking forward to a good year."
