The Chagrin Valley Conference will be broken up into two divisions in 2024. The division breakdown can be found by visiting the CVC Page on our website. Both the Chagrin and Valley divisions look to be very competitive as the season approaches.

The Chagrin Division has typically been dominated by the Independence Blue Devils. Independence will still be strong in 2024, led by seniors Macey McGhee and Maria DeCapua, but will face some stiff competition from both Orange and Chagrin Falls. Orange saw the emergence of Anuja Patel last season and she will lead the Lions while having a strong supporting cast. Freshman Elizabeth Pollock will have an immediate impact for Chagrin Falls and could be a contender for conference Player of the Year. Lutheran West and Hawken will both bring in young teams looking to build for the future. Cuyahoga Heights and Fairview look to have small rosters and will rely on their returning players to mentor their incoming teammates.

In the Valley Division, two teams are poised to make strong postseason runs and will likely be fighting for the division crown. Edgewood returns their entire starting lineup and have a legitimate shot to find a way to Akron to compete in the State Tournament. Led by Annie Johnston and Avery Vencill, the Warriors will look to improve a little more after a very successful 2023 season. The Pirates from Perry High School will be right up there with the Warriors. Senior Addie Trefzger and junior Jillian Peters will take on the workload for Perry as they look to contend in the CVC and the end of the year tournaments. Madison always fields a solid team and will have a good balance of both experience and new players. Geneva is another team that is building for the future along with both Berkshire and Lakeside.
