Boys Volleyball: Kelan Whitehouse and Caio Neto earn NIC first-team honors
Penn Boys Volleyball’s season was highlighted by several Northern Indiana Conference All-Conference selections as the Kingsmen finished atop the league standings with a perfect 5-0 record.
Leading the way were First Team All-NIC selections Kelan Whitehouse and Caio Neto. Whitehouse, a junior outside hitter, was recognized as one of the conference’s premier offensive players after helping lead Penn’s attack throughout the season. Neto, a freshman libero, earned First Team honors for his outstanding defensive play and consistency in the back row, making an immediate impact in his first varsity season.
Penn also placed two players on the Second Team All-NIC squad. Junior outside hitter Liam Carter earned recognition for his contributions on the front row, while sophomore middle hitter Tate Willis was honored after playing a key role in the Kingsmen’s success at the net.
Senior middle hitter Christian Bonner rounded out Penn’s All-Conference honorees by earning Honorable Mention recognition. Bonner’s leadership and steady play helped anchor a Penn team that dominated conference competition throughout the season.
