Cranberry Twp, PA - The North Catholic Boys Volleyball team is gearing up for an exciting 2026 campaign, entering the season with confidence, youth, and a strong sense of purpose. Despite fielding a young roster, the Trojans are setting high expectations as they look to build upon the foundation they've established in recent years.

This year's squad features just one senior—Chris Ramaley—who will play a crucial leadership role both on and off the court. His experience and steady presence will help guide a talented group of underclassmen eager to make their mark.

Head Coach Rick Ward returns for his second season at the helm after previously serving as an assistant under longtime coach Stacy Ball. Ward's continued leadership brings stability and familiarity to the program while giving the younger players the structure they need to grow quickly.

The Trojans will look to fill the gaps left by the graduation of several key contributors, including Drew Palmer, Josh Snyder, Jack White, Gabe Felice, and Evan Cmiel. Although these departures represent significant experience leaving the lineup, North Catholic's younger athletes have stepped up throughout preseason practices, showing determination, athleticism, and readiness to compete at a high level.

With fresh energy throughout the roster, the team is poised for a season of development and strong competition.

All home volleyball matches will be available to watch on the North Catholic Sports Network.  For the complete listing of broadcasts, click here.
