Last season, the Senators were 3-14.
This fall, Carson High turned around a 15-win improvement with an overall record of 18-11.
Earning first team all-region honors for the Senators was junior Sarah Miller.

Turner, a junior, had 162 kills for the Senators while being nearly as crucial as Miller on the block.
The 5-foot-11 middle had 50 blocks for Carson, which was second most on the squad.
Kolsch, the Senators’ senior setter, was a huge factor in the offensive game making strides for Carson.
