From RC, which went 12-0 in the district and won the regular-season title for the seventh consecutive season before winning the tournament, the five players named, all seniors, were hitters Maddie Dahl, Sophia Perlozzo and Sophie Vaught; setter McKenzie Burch and libero Nala Shearer. The Wildcats are coached by Kassidy Beagan.

From PM, which went 8-2 to finish second in the Pioneer District, senior outside hitter Sydney Mahaffey and sophomore middle hitter Kadence Zollman were named to the all-district first team. Fighting Blues selected to the all-district second team were senior hitter Tatyana Turner and junior setter Natalie Mohler, while senior right-side hitter Savannah Lewis received all-district honorable mention honors. The Blues are coached by Jessie Moala.
