After a rocky start, this school’s women’s junior varsity volleyball season is making a comeback. During the first half of the season the Hounds lost three games out of five. But now, in the second half of the season, the girls have won all their games.
“I think we’ve definitely improved as a team. Like before there wasn’t much chemistry, but now we work more as a team. At first, it was a little different for all of us because our coach was new, so no one really knew what she was like, so now we’ve gotten into a comfort zone, so we’re playing better and more unified as a team,” Sophie May, JV volleyball player and sophomore, said. 
Head JV Coach Samantha Bird said, “We had a few key injuries and players out at the beginning of the season that we had to work through.”
Despite injury, Bird said that it was nice having 14 girls because of depth and experience. She also said that by playing together, the girls are becoming a more close-knit team.
“As long as we continue to work hard in practice, get better and make the necessary adjustment that is all I can ask. It has been an absolute joy coaching these girls and I look forward to continuing to grow as a team and with that growth I think we will be very successful,” she said. Only five more games are left in the JV season. The next game is on Oct. 7 at Warren Central at 5:30 p.m.
