LAKE COUNTY >> Kelseyville High School seniors Nyejzniya Krohn and Cali Schnabl are the co-most valuable players on the 2024 All-North Central League I volleyball team as recently selected by the league’s coaches.
Krohn and Schnabl were two key pieces for the league-champion Knights as they finished atop the standings at 12-2, including wins in their final seven matches, six of them by three-set sweeps, to capture their first championship since 2019. Krohn was the team’s most consistent hitter at the net while Schnabl, the team’s libero, provided outstanding defense.
Krohn and Schnabl were among four Knights to earn All-League honors this season. Olivia Hommer, a senior, and junior Bella Patti were named to the second team.
