Team Works Together To Make League Finals
October 22, 2021
On a hot and sunny October 5th, girls volleyball won 3-1 against Tustin in our home gym. In an interview with athletic director Jeff Russell in early September, Coach Alex Griffiths said, “We are very grateful to have this opportunity considering that we didn’t have a season last year”. In the same interview Zoey
Henson, one of the volleyball captains said,”It’s great to be back in the gym.” The girl’s volleyball team has been absolutely dominating this year, with Varsity winning five in a row! The second place Centurions have a 18-3 overall record, and a 9-1 record in League.
Henson says the way they prepare for games is by doing a lot of mindfulness, because volleyball is more of mental sport, although they also work on ball control. Julia Peet, the second volleyball captain, says that she feels pure joy when she plays a game, and that volleyball is the “best sport ever.” Both captains love how close their team is and how it really is like a family more than a team. After continuing in League finals this week, the team made it all the way to the second round of CIF, where they were defeated by La Salle.

I liked reading the article as you also mentioned mindfulness in preparing for games. Along with that, I enjoyed seeing the quotes and pictures you included. I don’t play volleyball so it was great to get insight on how the players and coaches feel. Nice job writing the article; it was short and sweet!

I am fond of how you included quotes from the Captain and the Coach, to make it feel as if it was a live interview. I’m also profound in how you included a picture of the Girl’s Volleyball, and how you’ve described what Volleyball was all about. I hope to soon watch for myself the Girl’s Volleyball team dominating everyone.

I love how you captured a great picture of them jumping. I would like to see more of your articles. I also think you could add some more pictures to capture the game more but other than that it looks great.

I like how you quoted exactly what they said, added a picture of them playing, and told us how they feel about volleyball. This article is a little short, but other than that it’s very good.

I really enjoyed reading your article, It was really enjoyable for me to read about the school Varsity Volleyball team. I liked how you mentioned how the season was going for the Volleyball teams. I have no complaints about the article but I would have liked if you also talked about the other Volleyball teams. Otherwise, very good job!
