THE VALLEY — Senior Rylee Lantz established herself as a force at the net, and led Sayre to unprecedented heights in 2025. She is the VSR All-Valley "Volleyball Player of the Year."

Athens sophomore Ellie Mosher is the "Offensive Player of the Year," while Tioga senior Audi Zorn is the "Defensive Player of the Year," Athens freshman Kayla Forbes is the "Newcomer of the Year," and Sayre sophomore Reghan McGaughey is the "Breakout Player of the Year."

Sayre's first-year coach Colby Sangrey is the "Coach of the Year."

Lantz was the heart-and-soul of a Sayre team that won the program's first-ever District 4 title, and also went on to collect the first state playoff win in school history.

Lantz, who was a setter last year, registered a team-high 211 kills and 35 blocks on the season, to go along with 37 service aces, 53 digs, and eight setter assists.

Mosher, a hitting machine, led the Wildcats with 285 kills, on a kill rate of 33.2 percent, and a hit rate of 23.4 percent.

Mosher also had 132 service points, including 48 aces, 203 digs, 301 serve-receives and five setter assists.

Zorn was a force at the net, altering more kill attempts than she blocked. She registered 127 kills and 28 blocks, to go along with 93 digs, 13 assists and 12 aces.

Forbes made a huge impact in her first varsity season, recording team-highs with 304 digs and 396 serve-receives, to go along with 114 points, including 45 aces, 12 assists, three kills, and two blocks.

A tremendous all-around player, McGaughey was an integral piece in the Redskins' historic season. She had 63 service aces, 159 kills, 281 digs, and 89 assists.

Sangrey took over a Sayre program that entered the season with a 66-match losing streak, and lost its first two matches to run the streak to 68.

From that point on, Sayre went 12-8 to finish the season at 12-10. 

The Redskins then won the program's first-ever District 4 title, and recorded its first-ever state playoff win to reach the state quarterfinals.
