Owen-Withee and Spencer, the top two teams in the Cloverbelt Conference East Division standings, dominated the All-Cloverbelt Conference East Volleyball Team, as voted on by the conference coaches.

Spencer senior libero Dani Johnson, senior hitter Courtney Schulz and junior hitter Tara Matter were named to the first team, along with three Owen-Withee players – senior Alyssa Gordon and juniors Kenadi Batchelor and Aleyna Goertliz – and Neillsville sophomore Jenny Lindner.

Spencer senior setter Kyleigh Hebert was among the second-team selections, and junior Paige Johnson was an honorable mention choice for the Rockets.

Spencer, which finished second in the conference with an 8-1 record behind Owen-Withee, will play in a WIAA Division 3 sectional semifinal Thursday at Auburndale against Marathon.
