JV volleyball comes to a close

Thursday, Oct. 21, the JV volleyball team had their final game of the season. They won the first game, came close to winning the second, and lost the third, but never gave up.  The junior varsity had a year filled with many games and lots of fun.  Some of the girls’ best memories were the car rides to and from different schools, the inside jokes and team bonding. The team loved working together, particularly in the last practice.  

The players had mixed emotions about the season ending.  Many girls said that they are relieved to be able to come home right after school,  to have time to relax and do their homework. However, the girls all said that they will miss the season as well.  Alexis Brenner said, “I'm also going to miss it a lot, though. I love volleyball and all the girls on the team. I feel like it gives me something else fun to do during the school week other than homework. And all of the girls had so much fun together.”  Another player, Alison Howey, said, “For the most part, I'm so sad the season is over.  It was such a fun time with learning new things and bonding with our teammates.”

Several junior varsity players will be part of the new varsity team next season.  “I’m looking forward to being pushed harder and really improving personally and as a team,” said Sarah Schiesser as she looks forward to next season.  Shirley Irwin said, “I’m looking forward to reconnecting with different people.”  The girls are excited to move up a level and to expand their volleyball skills in the season ahead of them. For the time being, they are thankful for more time to relax.

As the volleyball season comes to a close, junior varsity volleyball is pleased with their outcome at the end of the season. Looking to the season ahead,  they hope to be even more successful next year.
