The 10th Region returns six all-state volleyball players for the 2026 Kentucky high school season, headlined by Conner outside hitter Charlotte Patton as the field's only first-team honoree.

Patton, a junior at the Hebron school, earned first-team all-state recognition from the Kentucky Volleyball Coaches Association after ranking 15th statewide in kills per set (4.91) during the 2025 season, according to final statistics on KHSAA.org. Her career varsity totals through two seasons stand at 807 kills across 200 sets played, per MaxPreps.

Patton's production gives Conner a proven offensive weapon entering a region loaded with returning talent.

Brossart coach Danielle French told the NKY Tribune on July 25, that her senior-heavy Mustangs squad is targeting the 10th Region championship.

"They're all aware of the possibilities that could be on our horizon this season," French said. "They all know we have a very, very strong chance of doing very well this year."

The Mustangs went 24-11 in 2025 behind 6-foot-2 middle blocker Callie Ritter and fifth-year starting setter Aubrey Rebholz. Ritter led Kentucky in blocks per set (1.97) and tallied 335 kills, while Rebholz ranked fifth statewide in assists per set (10.0) and has amassed more than 2,300 career assists. Ritter earned second-team all-state honors and spent the summer playing for NKYVC Tide at the USA Volleyball 17-under national tournament, where the team went 6-4 in 10 matches.

The region's other returning all-state players include Beechwood outside hitter Isabel O'Brien and St. Henry libero Kenadi Sieg, both second-team selections in 2025. Beechwood setter Skylar Estep and Notre Dame outside hitter Teagan Kondik received honorable mention.

Several are headed to college programs. Sieg and Kondik have committed to the University of Cincinnati, O'Brien was recruited by Bellarmine University in Louisville, and Estep will attend the University of Virginia-Wise, an NCAA Division II school.

The 2026 season opens across Kentucky on August 17.
