Counted upon to do some of everything, from setting to serving to spiking to stuffing, Florian was an easy First Team All-League choice and was honored along with AHS junior Jordan Mobbley and senior Sylvie Caton, Centauri senior Isabel Prieto, Montezuma-Cortez senior Aryelle Wright and Pagosa Springs junior Teagan Stretton.

Mobbley, a 5’6″ setter, was named IML Player-of-the-Year while Mean Moose Coach Annie Rice received Coach-of-the-Year after Alamosa went 10-0 in league and ultimately 26-2 overall following a five-game win over Loveland Resurrection Christian on the State Championships’ first day. Alamosa then had a four-game loss to Colorado Springs Christian on Day 2 and a three-game loss to Parker Lutheran beginning Day 3.

Lutheran, which ended Bayfield’s 2017 campaign at regionals, finished 27-2 overall after winning the state championship 25-16, 25-20, 14-25, 25-11 over CSCS (22-5).

Regularly relied upon to provide the big swing offensively plus defense, Pope was named Second Team All-IML to close out her prep career, with the Wolverines having finished a fourth-place 5-5 in league and 7-16 overall. Joining her were AHS senior Amy Lopez and juniors Emily DePriest and Taylor Motz, CHS senior Kaitlynn Martin and PSHS junior Taylor Lewis.

Honorable Mention All-Intermountain for 2018 went to M-CHS freshman Avery Wright and sophomores Leigha Comisky and Amber Wood, Monte Vista seniors Harley Kincannon and Alyssa Rawinski, and Centauri senior Madison Sowards and junior McKenna Bagwell.
