Moye is the first Cougars boys volleyball player to receive this honor.

Moye, a junior, helped the Cougars beat International Christian-Pyongtaek 25-19, 25-9, 25-21 at home on Oct. 24. The Cougars then hit the road, losing in five sets 22-25, 25-22, 25-21, 21-25, 15-13 at Taegu American, then rallying to edge Taejon Christian International in five sets 25-27, 25-16, 25-18, 17-25, 15-6 at Daejeon.

Aja’ WalkerVolleyball

Kadena, Okinawa

Last week: Pounded out 14 spike kills and scored 11 blocks for points as the Panthers won the Okinawa Activities Council season series from Kubasaki three matches to two. It’s the first time since 2003 that Kadena won the season series from the Dragons, the same year that Kadena achieved a school-best third-place in the Far East Class AA tournament.

Walker, a sophomore, struck just the right note with the Panthers trailing 24-19 in the fourth set. Kadena got the serve back and first-year coach Greg Rosenberger instructed setter Alexis Youngerin, “Set Aja’.” She did, and Walker responded with five kills in six attempts as Kadena rallied to win 25-17, 17-25, 25-19, 26-24.
