South Mississippi will be well-represented July 20 when the best high school volleyball players in the state compete in the 13th annual Mississippi Association of Coaches all-star game.

The MAC recently released the rosters for the annual North-South game, with Our Lady Academy’s Mary Rimmer and Alia Tayara, Resurrection’s Icy Walley, Hancock’s Rylee Swilley and Ocean Springs’ Dougless St. Amant all listed to represent the South.

Brett Favre’s daughter, Breleigh, who is a standout at Oak Grove, will play for the South and Oxford’s Ragan Freeze, daughter of Ole Miss football coach Hugh Freeze, will play for the North.

The South is looking to bounce back after being swept 3-0 (25-19, 25-18, 25-19) in 2015.

The match is set for 6 p.m. at the Maurice Hall Activities Center Hangar Dome on the campus of Millsaps College in Jackson. Admission is $5.
