The opening of the 2010 Fall sports season recently kicked off and the HCHS volleyball team has been hard at work. The Varsity team is once again coached by Health/P.E. teacher, Ms. Danielle Peter, and the freshmen team has a new coach in Ms. Jessie Baker.
The Lady Hornets hit a few bumps as the season opened. Despite a rough 1-8 start, the Varsity team has high hopes for a successful season. The Lady Hornets have been practicing since the beginning of summer break with conditioning and extensive drills to prepare for the season to come. According to Coach Peter, “We have the best passers, diggers, hitters, setters, and servers I have ever had, but we are presently struggling to get together to be a truly talented and competitive team.”
The Varsity team will have major offensive contributions from seniors Tanisha Johnson and Felicia Wilson. The brunt of the defense is expected to come from Abbey Marsch, Shayla Pierrard, Nikki Wilhite, and Kristen Ogle.
“We have the potential to do some great things this season. Hopefully we’ll pull it together.” says Team-Captain and Setter Nakaya McManaway.
Despite the rocky start, the team has its coach and its fans to back them up. “I believe in this team, as do their parents in the stands,” said Ms. Peter. “Winning takes patience, dedication, coachability, team work and chemistry. When this team decides to fire on all cylinders and gets it together, no one will touch them.”
