Looks like Olympia BM n McCarthy are going to be really good next year, who else should we be looking out for?
How are these state teams shaping up for next year: Wellington Mourning Palmetto TC Columbus Monarch
What about these other top teams from this year? Who do they loose and whose coming back: DP Lyman Sw Apopka Gibbons
Probably missing some teams

McCarthy is losing their 2 best attackers (their middles) and their right side, although everyone else returns. All of Wellington's starters are seniors except 1 middle so they'll have a down year. Mourning is almost all seniors as well, I know they lose both outsides and their setter, but return their libero. Palmetto is also all seniors, the only starter they return is their libero. TC returns a very good outside, a DS, and a middle, loses everyone else. Columbus was mostly seniors. Monarch loses an outside, middle, right side, and libero, returns a setter, outside, and middle. DP returns only their libero and a middle. Lyman returns only a libero and both middles. Southwest is mostly seniors I believe. Apopka was all seniors, returns only a DS, an outside, and a young setter. Gibbons returns everyone except an outside, right side, and their setter

Should be kind of a rough year for a lot of traditionally good teams, gibbons, Lyman, palmetto, Apopka, southwest, not to mention, Miami will be taking a huge step back without the talent of palmetto, southwest, and Columbus.

I believe Coral Reef will be a factor down south - they had a very young team last year

Olympia will still be a very good team returning Luke Allmond who is easily a D1 prospect. They also have a good young talent in their outside/ setter Justin Beecher. Their biggest losses will definitely be their big hitter on the rightside in Bryce Catoor and their other starting outside Justin Ford. Olympia looks like the only team that could compete with the defending state champs in the prestigious District 4. Bishop Moore is returning their two leaders in kills in Domanik Stratford and Carson Kahle. Those two will lead bishop Moore in defense of their title next year. Both will potentially play at smaller D1 or D2 schools if they continue to improve. They are also gaining another powerful sophomore hitter who can help contribute on the outside or rightside if needed. Their biggest uncertainty will be at setter because there were no setters from the junior class on the roster this year. Stratford has been a setter in the past and he could potentially set, yet they will need his attacking power on the outside. All in All Bishop Moore will be one of the two favorites for the traditionally hardest district in the state. Timber Creek will be losing a lot of seniors this year but they will be returning an outstanding outside in Michael MacGillvaray. He is easily a D1 prospect. They will need to work out some growing pains yet with the weakness from Lyman next year, they could make a return to the state playoffs if their Senior Outside can lead them there. DP is losing the seniors that led their team to an undefeated regular season this year, their returning best player will be Richie Diedrich who will probably carry the load on the outside. Although The Senior will be a great player and potential D1 athlete, it doesn't look like they will compete for a district title against Olympia or Bishop Moore. A potential Wild Card pick could be Lake Nona. They pulled off a big win over Winter Park this year and could potentially win their district next year with an all senior squad with powerful hitters next year. Although this is a long shot, look for them to be playing TC in the district final in a close match. (Apopka lost too much and is going through a coaching change, will take too long to recover from Lillithorups Departure)

Look for Archbishop to return to states next year and be back for revenge! Michael Moreieres is a very underestimated hitter and can carry his team when need be. He had over 450 kills last season and he will need help next year in order to make it happen, yet the team is mainly juniors and their chances are looking good with all of the setbacks other teams will be taking

Columbus over Ransom next year and both Palmetto and Killian will be better than Reef (I hope someone was joking about Reef being any good)

Broward breakdown
District 8: Monarch remains the favorite here as Douglas takes a huge step back after the loss of Tyler smith. Taravella will still be recovering from the loss of Mariano Pennini, don't know much about them. Monarch returns their setter, an outside, libero and several other backups.
District 9: Cardinal Gibbons remains the favorite here, with the loss of Corry and their setter they'll still take a huge step back, however they return both middles, an outside, and liberos/DS's that were used throughout the season. Especially after their O2 returns from his ACL tear suffered in the district final. Pine crest will return their best player in Tony Alfonso, however they lose everyone else including their 4-year starting setter. Saint Thomas will still be recovering from the huge overhaul of talent from 2 years ago, losing a middle, outside, DS, and S/OPP won't help them moving forward, O2, backup setter, M2, and libero return for this year, still mediocre at best.
District 10: one word: ARCHBISHOP! Seriously the only competitive team in the district as usual.
District 11: South Broward will struggle to recover from the loss of Steven Garay, easily their best player. Chaminade-Madonna loses almost their whole team. Flanagan and mcarthur have the potential to challenge for the district title, but expect South Broward to come out of probably the weakest district in the state this year (aside from district 3).
Palm Beach Breakdown
District 5: should really be interesting to see how Royal Palm returns from their loss of talent over the past year, returning only an outside hitter. Suncoast could very well challenge them for the district title this year, returning both outside hitters and a few other pieces. Whoever comes out of here will have a tough time in regionals against the district 6 winner, which brings us to....
District 6: Wellington faces a huge turnover this year returning only a middle from last year, some young talent on this team but not much. Park Vista returns much of an average squad from last year and will probably come out of this district. Palm Beach Central has some talent but not much, expect park vista to win this district.
District 7: Boca High faces a tough situation with a coaching change and the loss of their starting OPP and both middles. They return much of their team aside from that, however they will certainly take a step back. Expect Spanish River to be competitive even though they'll take a step back as well. This one should come down to the wire but I say Boca edges out SR in 5.
Just my thoughts, feel free to comment

Southwest lost the majority of its talent. Only player returning is Liam Gilchrist, OH. He is one to keep an eye on. Other returning player is Idel Mena, Setter. Was not very consistent and struggled in big games. Don't expect this team to be competitive at state level for several season.
