It’s August, which means the month that high school volleyball season (in most states) is upon us. This edition of the HS Dish features 13 programs that are fully intact – and better – after the 2018 season.

These schools didn’t graduate any seniors who started for the team and, because of it, the teams are back stronger and more experienced. As youth was somewhat of a handicap to many of these teams a year ago, having gone through that adversity is now in their favor.

Note that we’re sure there are more of these teams around the country, but these are 13 teams we know about because coaches have completed our form. No matter how you anticipate finishing this season, we want to know about your team! If you are a high school coach and have yet to fill out your information, please do so here (and ASAP!).
