The Ohio Volleyball Coaches Association has released its first state poll of the 2024 season which included three teams from the Chagrin Valley Conference.

Crestwood came in at No. 8 in Division IV while Berkshire was ranked 17th in Division V and Independence entered the poll at No. 17 in Division VI.

The Red Devils got off to a 5-0 start this season before dropping a pair of matches on Saturday. They’ll have a chance to add a signature win on Tuesday as they travel to Berkshire to square off in a match featuring two state-ranked teams.

Berkshire is 4-1 after opening the season with four straight wins followed by a five-set loss at VASJ on Sept. 5. Berkshire hosts Crestwood on Tuesday and then travels to Kirtland on Thursday. The Badgers and Hornets split the CVC Valley Division title last fall.

Independence is 4-0 on the season with four straight three-set sweeps. The Blue Devils host Kenston on Wednesday in a battle of ranked teams. The Bombers are No. 7 in Division III.
