Vote for the top returning prep volleyball player in Savannah area in an open poll

Here's a chance for readers to weigh in and select their top returning high school volleyball player in the Greater Savannah area in a preseason poll.

Volleyball is ready to get started in the Greater Savannah area as high school teams are preparing for the season, with regular games set to get started in August.

There is no shortage of talent in the area as several teams seem primed to make postseason runs. Savannah Arts is coming off its first trip to the state finals and will be in the hunt again in Class 2A.

St. Vincent's, Savannah Christian, Calvary Day and Savannah Country Day are looking to make some noise in the Class A-3A Private School classification.

Richmond Hill, Effingham County and South Effingham have produced talented teams in recent years, and St. Andrew's had a memorable season in the GIAA last year.

We recently published a list of the top returning high school volleyball players in the Greater Savannah area for the 2025 season. Here's a chance for readers to weigh in and select their favorite in an open poll with no restrictions on the voting. The poll will close on Monday, Aug. 4, at 11 a.m.
