TEAMWORK. Players defend a spike from the Mustangs.

Girls Varsity Volleyball has had a successful season so far, and the players have high hopes going into the home stretch of the season.

We always strive to go into every game with intensity regardless of the team’s reputation

— Senior Sophia Rose

“We are a really close team. We only graduated two seniors last year, so basically have had the same team for two years and it is starting to show on and off the court,” captain Sophia Rose said.

“One of our main goals is to win our conference. We always strive to go into every game with intensity regardless of the team’s reputation and to always play as one rather than six individual players,” Rose said.

The team won a big tournament on Sep. 16 against schools including Blake and Minnehaha.

Rose has been on the team for several years. “I love that [all the players] have a serious love for the sport in common. It’s always fun to play with girls who really care,” Rose said.
