Our Junior High Volleyball team is made up of 12 girls this fall. We have 3 eighth graders, 3 seventh graders, and 6 sixth graders playing this fall. Within this mix we have a pretty broad range of skills and experience, but everyone has been working well together!
The last two weeks we have spent a lot of time focusing on fundamentals and I have already seen huge improvements in the girls! We are all really excited for this season to get underway with our first game at home on the 3rd!!
The Hay Springs Lady Hawks volleyball team hit the floor running on August 10th. After months apart, the team was excited to be back together practicing. This year’s team is 20 members strong and includes 9 returning letter-winners with a lot of experience and a fantastic group of underclassmen that will be asked to contribute to the team’s overall success.
The team is patiently awaiting their first competition when they will travel to Garden County to take on the Lady Eagles and the Hyannis Lady Longhorns on Tuesday, September 1st. The team also welcomes new assistant coach and teacher Mrs. Sarah Badje.
“I have high expectations for this team this year. This is our second year together and they all understand what I expect in practices and games. The sky’s the limit if they continue to work hard and play as a team.”
“TEAM OVER ME”
Come out and support your Lady Hawks!
