2024 Record: 10-15

Worth noting: The Fightin’ Irish posted nine fewer wins in 2024 than they did in 2023. But despite this downswing in the regular season, rallied come playoff time to win their fourth straight regional title in comeback fashion over Beecher.

The Irish had four seniors and seven juniors last season, giving them an experienced returning senior class in 2025. Dole led the team with 145 kills and 56 blocks last season, earning All-Area honors, and alongside fellow seniors like Slone and Born, will look to get the Irish to a regional five-peat this year.
