“Partnering with FloSports marks an exciting step forward for the Northwest Conference as we expand our reach and elevate the visibility of our student-athletes,” said NWC Commissioner Shana Levine. “This collaboration allows us to share compelling stories that reflect our core values of academic centrality, unity, and competitive excellence – while ensuring the NWC is well-prepared for the ever-evolving landscape of college athletics.”

Michael Levy, FloSports SVP of Global Rights & Acquisition, added, “The NWC represents a diverse grouping of institutions in the Pacific Northwest that will benefit from exposure on a national platform like FloCollege. We’re excited to elevate exposure for these schools and their athletes, while investing in their ability to produce high-quality events.”

Three Tigers Named PVCA All-State Volleyball Players

AUSTIN, Texas — Central Michigan Cross Country and Track & Field’s Emily Paupore has been named Academic All-America Second Team by College Sports Communicators (CSC) Tuesday.
 
Paupore earned an 11^th-place finish in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the 2025 NCAA I Outdoor Track & Field Championships in June to claim her first All-America title in competition as a second-teamer.
 
The national performance was preceded by three Mid-American Conference Championships between the outdoor (steeplechase, 5,000m) and indoor (5000m) seasons and an all-region performance in NCAA Cross Country during academic year 2024-25.
 
A fifth-year senior from Negaunee, Mich., Paupore graduated with a bachelor’s in education (Pre-K through 6^th) with a 3.91 grade-point average. She is one of 45 NCAA I student-athletes to be named to one of CSC’s three Academic All-America teams, ranking in the top 20 of the group by GPA.
 
Paupore is the second in program history to earn Academic All-America status from CSC, Kary Tomaw’s 1997 third-team nod standing as the first. Last year, CMU Wrestling’s Alex Cramer ended a five-year drought for the Chippewas as a whole in the category—CMU Women’s Basketball’s Reyna Frost was the previous (2019).
 
 

AL.com is continuing its series of highlighting some of the most unbreakable records in AHSAA history, highlighting some historic numbers in volleyball for this week’s poll.

As always, fans will have the opportunity to make their voices heard.

In last week’s boys basketball poll, fans chose former Crossville star Cale Black’s record-setting mark of 514 3-point baskets in the 1989-90 season as the least likely to be broken.

Voting for this week will close Thursday night. Cast yours at the poll below.

Here are some of our picks for the most unbreakable records in AHSAA volleyball history:

Consecutive state championships

21: Bayside Academy, 2002-22

One of the most dominant runs of success in high school sports history, the Admirals’ streak of 21 straight titles hasn’t even been close to being touched; Addison (2013-18) and Huntsville (2002-07) have six straight titles, which tie for second in the rankings. The program also leads all others with 31 state championships in its history, with McGill-Toolen ranking second with 23 and St. Paul’s third with 16.

Career kills

4,019: Kryssi Daniels, Curry (2010-11) and Winston County (2006-09)

She is the only player in AHSAA history with over 4,000 career kills, achieving a career-high mark of 855 in the 2010 season. The 2010 Gatorade Alabama Volleyball Player of the Year holds four of the top 18 spots on the single-season kills leaderboard. Ranking second behind Daniels is former Hazel Green star Gracie Lynn Butler. The five-time all-state selection also ranks third in career service aces (710) and career digs (2,936) and went on to have a collegiate career at Alabama.

Blocks in a season

584: Whitney Sanders, Winston County, 2003

This record has remained untouched for over 20 years, with Sanders being the only player in the record book to log over 400 blocks in a single season. Ranking second is former Bayside Academy standout Caroline Gill, who had 259 in 2006. Sanders also ranks third in AHSAA history for most kills in a single match with 44 in the 2002 season.

Career service aces

914: Sadie Beam, Addison, 2008-10

The former Addison star and two-time state champion was a key part of her program’s dominant run of success during her time at the high school ranks. She is the only player with 900 career service aces in the record book, with fellow Addison standout Danna Stallings ranking second with 732 in the 1992-97 seasons. Beam went on to play at West Alabama, where she spent four seasons and logged 95 service aces.

Service aces in a set

19: Lily Moss, Horseshoe Bend (3) vs. LaFayette (0), 2023

This area tournament matchup also saw Moss notch the AHSAA record for most points served in a set, with the Horseshoe Bend standout serving all 25 points in a 25-0 first set. She finished with 23 service aces in the 3-0 victory, which ranks third in AHSAA history. Moss will be playing for the South softball team for AHSAA North-South all-star week.

Consecutive victories (All matches)

115: Addison, 2004-06

One of the most successful volleyball programs in Alabama, Addison’s mark that spans across three seasons has been left untouched for almost 20 years. Bayside Academy’s run of 61 straight wins ranks second, while Hoover ranks third with 55 straight wins from 2020-21.
