Fortkamp, Pearson make All-MAC teams

The Indians have some strong outside hitters this season.

Two of them were recognized Wednesday morning.

The Midwest Athletic Conference announced the 2023 All-Conference Volleyball teams on Wednesday, with Fort Recovery High School’s Teigan Fortkamp and Mara Pearson both making the cut.

Fortkamp was one of the 12 players named to the first team All-MAC. She has amassed 269 kills and 46 aces to lead the Indians in both categories during the regular season.

Coldwater and St. Henry dominated the first team selections with three players each making it, including co-players of the year Spencer Etzler and Melinda Schrader.

Pearson was named to the second team All-MAC alongside 13 other players. She was a vital part to both the front and back rows throughout the season, finishing second with 173 kills and second in digs with 228.

Fort Recovery’s libero, Cali Wendel, was also recognized as an honorable mention. Wendel was the team’s leader in digs with 286 while also recording a team-high 455 serve receptions.
