Half way through this Mohawk Volleyball season, Coach Nicole Hunter is working the varsity team hard. But, all that hard work is showing improvements. “Each and every game our girls are improving in whatever aspect we have been focusing on in practice,” Coach Hunter explains. Although their record may not portray the hard work they put in and improvements that are occurring, multiple close matches have stacked up in their favor. Matches such as the ones against Marshalltown, Clear Lake, and many others. One match that Coach Hunter will always remember from last season is the game against Decorah. As Coach Hunter put it, “We had battled through a lot of tough injuries throughout the season and we still won that first round game. That had not been done for a long time at MCHS and I was thrilled for the girls to accomplish that!” But, this season, speaking for myself, the most memorable moment or game was the one against Des Moines Lincoln. Mason City and Des Moines were tied with two sets each, and they had one last set to fifteen to determine the ultimate winner, and

She spent some time speaking about teamwork, and how that is what she has been working on all season. In her words, “Volleyball without teamwork is like football without it’s balls.” What she means by this is that without teamwork, volleyball is a meaningless game of keep the ball off the ground, and working on teamwork is a key aspect for all volleyball players to focus on. Shaye is also looking forward to bonding with her teammates she’s been playing with for at least two years. To finalize that statement, Shaye added this, “It’s really a fun time when you make the stupidest jokes and say dumb things to each under our breath when the other team serves.” Volleyball, as Shaye would agree with, is a team sport full of memories and good

Sally Harrison is adroit when it comes to playing volleyball. She is the best volleyball player this school has ever seen, although some people continue to scrutinize the way she plays the game. They claim she is belligerent, and hasty when she plays the game. They’re wrong she is benevolent, and amicable. She plays the game how it should be played and plays it meticulously.

“Seven” that is the amount of times the Penn State Women’s Volleyball team has won the Division One Championship. They are currently tied with Stanford Volleyball for the most National Championship titles as of this year. Penn State has strived hard in order to claim their title of the most wins, but there are three things that have helped them along the way: looking at how far they’ve come, the team’s coaching, and previous alumni that have pushed current players to keep a positive reputation.
Beginning his thirty-seventh season coaching the Penn State Women, most people would agree that Coach Rose has the game figured out. His experience and amount of time at this school seems to show that he is dedicated to this program and their highs and lows, however one would not expect that their “lows” were nothing close to an unsuccessful season. Between the years of 1981-2006 Penn State only earned the title of “champions” one time. This does not mean they had struggling seasons, actually far from it. The Lions still had high records and winning seasons, they just could not pull out on top other than their 1999 season. Runners up three times in that period, they were a hard team to beat yet they continued to get shut down in the post season until the year of 2006 (D1 Women’s Volleyball). Penn State began feeling what it was like to end the season with a win and a trophy. As one would assume, these victories attribute to the coaches and the players at Penn State. This is a team made up of the most athletic and talented volleyball players in the
It all came down to this game. We had lost to Fort Branch during our first game of the school year and then came our chance for redemption, the annual 7th Grade Volleyball Tournament. The air was thick with tension as both teams warmed up. The time on the clock slowly slipped away as we got prepared and soon enough, it was time to start the game. Coach Elpers gathered our team all around her and gave us a motivational speech. We gathered in a huddle and all shouted, “Lady Elites” on the count of three. Then, we ran onto the court to play the most important game of our season.
With the Christmas tournament aside, we entered the post-season without a loss. We had a plan for each playoff game from districts to regional. We never deviated from the plan, keeping our eye on the target –
The Kimberly Girls Volleyball team will experience a lot of pressure as they head into the State tournament this weekend. Expectations are very high for them because they have had a lot of success so far this season. I talked to a girl who is currently on the varsity volleyball team that is going to state. Payton is not a starter and doesn't get to see the court often but she is just as important as anyone else on the team. She discussed with me some of the expectations that coaches and fans have for them. “Every game our coach always tells us not to be satisfied, and that’s kinda our team moto. I definitely think that’s the expectation from our coaches is to not be satisfied with a win or how we played just to always make it better. I believe the expectation from the fans is just to stay positive and work as hard as we can. ”
Freshman year at Nazareth College of Rochester our volleyball team made it to the NCAA championship hosted by our college. We competed through the regular season with a record of 29-1, easily won the first 3 matches of the NCAA tournament, and had earned our way to the finals. The night before the championship, we had our usual team dinner, gathered to watch film of the other team to best prepare for our contest, then headed back to our respective rooms to sleep. Sleep was not easy that night due to the thoughts of having the chance to be a national champion the next day.
The Girls Varsity Volleyball Team made their mark at the beginning of the season when they participated in and won this year's "Bulldog Classic."

In Mr.Konow class we had just finished playing volleyball. Volleyball is a fun sport and it can get you going meaning meaning it makes your muscle works and the basic of volleyball is In volleyball, there are six people on the court at one time for each team. Usually three people are in the front row, and three are in the back row. The front row is sectioned off by a line 10 feet from the net, called the “attack line” or the “10-foot line.” Front-row players are not confined to this section of the court, but this is where most of their playing takes place. The server must make the ball go over the net on the serve. It doesn’t matter if the ball touches the net on a serve anymore.positions are numbered, one through six, starting
In my first season, I kept the team stable. Lou Will’s beloved Drake-cosign status and ridiculous range make him a fan favorite coming off the Baby Lakers’ bench. I fixed Julius Randle’s hideously false jumper with the lefty’s somewhat-silky shot. Lowlights of the 2016-17 simulation include a 61-point loss in the Boston Garden to the rivaled Celtics and maintaining the worst record in the Western Conference for the second straight year. Highlights include the likes of going 3-0 against the Timberwolves, which is a feat they will be hoping to face amidst the heat of the 2019 Western Conference playoff race, and that’s about it. This first season was a goddamn atrocity to say the least. I ended up drafting Josh Jackson out of Kansas with the first pick. I plan on interchanging him and Ingram at the 2 and the 3, which would make for a ridiculous perimeter defense because clearly the Lakers can’t stop the ball if their lives depended on it.
