JV volleyball coach Skylar Estes believes her team really stepped up to the plate this year.
“Our season was amazing,” said Estes. “The girls worked hard every day at practice and bought into what we wanted to accomplish and the type of players and team we wanted to be. It is awesome to coach a group of girls who are able to take what you say as a coach and try their best to do what is asked. They came together throughout the season as a team, which is why they were successful.”
Coach Estes got to watch their progress from freshman year on.
“For me, it was amazing to have many of them as freshmen and then have them again and watch them grow into even better players as the season went on,” said Estes.
Junior Sandyn Johnson is proud of her team and what they’ve accomplished.
“Our volleyball season was great,” said Johnson. “In the beginning, we had to learn how to work as a team, and towards the end of the season, it all worked out. We improved amazingly when we learned how to do that.”
Fellow junior Amanda Franklin specified what the team needed work on.
“Our season was really good, and we improved every day with our passing, which made the setting good so the hitters could also improve their hitting,” said Franklin.
Sophomore Lauren Fentress is anxious for next season.
“This year’s volleyball season was really fun, and we really grew as a team,” said Fentress. “Throughout the season, we all improved in practice and most importantly, games.”
