Outlook: Farrell looks to change direction under first-year coach Marsha Fields this season. The Steelers lost two all-region players to graduation in LaShelle Platteborze and Tyra Robinson. Both were voted to the all-region second team as outside hitters. Farrell returns four starters this year, including second-team libero Johntae Scott. Also back for the Steelers are Tyria Norris, Myzea Cromartie, Key Asia Oatis and Whitney Murray. With a young team and a new coaching staff, Farrell is looking to climb out of the bottom of Region 1 and start competing for a playoff spot once again.
