The 26 athletes selected to the 2017 FloVolleyball Boys' All-Americans list were leaders at their high schools and in many cases led their teams to state championship titles. They are also the top recruits in their classes, with all of the major college programs represented in this list.

Punahou High School of Honolulu, Hawaii, which finished No. 1 in the final Flo50 national rankings, wound up with one player on the first team and one on the second team, while No. 2 Glenbard West of Glen Ellyn, Illinois, has two on the first team. No. 3 Loyola of Los Angeles, also finished with one on the first and one on the second, including FloVolleyball Boys' High School National Player of the Year J.P. Reilly. Punahou coach Rick Tune took home the year's top coaching honors.

JP Reilly & Coach Boehle State Champs

A Stanford recruit who excels in the classroom as well as on the court, Reilly is a 6-4 pin hitter with a 38-inch vertical. Despite an excellent season, he missed out on being selected CIF Southern Section Player of the Year after his Loyola team lost to Corona Del Mar in the CIFSS championship match. But he and his team found redemption in the CIF SoCal Regional final when they defeated Corona Del Mar in straight sets, elevating the team to the No. 3 spot in the final Flo50 national ranking of the season and earning Reilly the FloVolleyball Boys' High School Player of the Year honor.

COACH OF THE YEAR


Rick Tune
Punahou (Honolulu, Hawaii)

Despite fielding a team that had several juniors in starring roles, Tune guided the Buff 'N Blu to their eighth state title in the last nine seasons and to the No. 1 ranking in the final Flo50 ranking of the season.

Tune made the smart decision to take his team to the Best of the West tournament in Southern California early on in the season, where the Buff 'N Blu won the title and first claimed the national No. 1 spot.

While he didn't earn local honors for this season, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser has picked Tune as its Coach of the Year four times. At FloVolleyball, we haven't had the pleasure yet.

Before becoming the school's head coach and leading his team to so many state titles, Tune won a state title at the school as a player while also being on the school's basketball team that finished in third place in the state tournament his senior season. He then played middle blocker for a University of Hawaii team that led the nation in attendance in the 1990s and finished his college career at Pepperdine.
