Well-balanced play makes No. 17 Memorial a tough opponent
No. 17 — MEMORIAL MUSTANGS
The Mustangs are not far removed from reaching the Regional Semifinals in 2023. Memorial went 24-13 overall a year ago and brought home the District 17-6A crown for a third-straight season. Last year, the playoff road ended in the Area Round.
Fifteenth-year coach Jyusef Larry has an experienced squad coming back for 2024-25 with four starters back in the huddle. Key returners include first-team, all-district selections Draden Moss, Ivy Oliver and Lindsey Vlasak, second-teamer Helen Rieke and honorable mention, all-district picks Brooke Kearns and Emily Clanton.
The motto for the Mustangs this year is #AIAOAS – All In, All Out, All Season.”

THIS IS SPARTA: Several play-makers return for No. 17 Stratford
NO. 17 -- STRATFORD SPARTANS
Head Coach: Jenny Adcock
2023: 38-8/Area Finalists
THE SPARTANS ARE FRESH OFF A NICE 38-WIN CAMPAIGN IN 2023.
Led by ninth-year coach Jenny Adcock (175-142 at Stratford; 304 career coaching wins), Stratford brings back three starters off a team that reached the Area Round, including Sarah Hickman.
The District 17-6A and GHVCA Newcomer of the Year from last season is also a four-time USA National Team Development Program Invite and USA U-19 Team selection.
Others to remember include Audrey Cook (1st-Team, All-District, AVCA Phenom), Gwen Koss (AVCA Phenom) and Avery Kent (All-District Honorable Mention).
Keys to success, according to Adcock, are “ball control” and “offensive decisions”.
