The girl’s volleyball teams have reigned undefeated so far this season. On September 20th, all three teams faced the Centurion’s rivals, the Fighting Irish, at Kennedy High School. The Frosh team won 2-1, Junior Varsity won 2-0, and Varsity snatched the victory 3-0!
Volleyball is a sport that not only challenges players physically, but also mentally. Three girls from the Varsity team, Tabitha Ojeda, Rachel Millanes, and Isabella Ortega, agree that volleyball is a psychologically tough sport.
Every position has worries and anxiety about their performance on the court, but they overcome their apprehension in different ways. Millanes and Ortega found that distracting themselves from previous plays and continuing to communicate with their teammates helps calm down their anxiety. Ojeda reminds herself and her friends on the court, “It’s okay you got this, we got the next point!”
Tryouts were held on July 11, 2022. Ever since then, Cypress has conquered teams left and right all over the district. Zoey Henson, senior, reflects back on how she feels after her game against her school’s rivals. “I was expecting to do a little bit better on my part, but as a whole, we won, and it’s just another one for the books!” Henson added some inspiration and motivation for future volleyball players. “Fall in love with the sport while you can, because eventually, it can become a job,” Henson admitted. “If you stick with it, good things will come out of it.”
Girl’s Volleyball is doing outstanding this year. The bond and teamwork between each player is truly inspiring to anybody who comes to watch their games.

This article, Girl’s Volleyball Remains Undefeated”, was well said and I liked how you expressed how the girl’s volleyball team was able to remain undefeated mentally and physically, even when struck with worries and anxiety. It truly helped enlighten the fact that they accomplished their achievements with teamwork and communication. As girls’ volleyball will be able to shine brighter than ever. Though, a noticeable thing is that there is less information about the actual game and rather more about how the teammates felt and their experiences. Though, awesome job explaining how you guys went through problems and figured out solutions to them, and describing how this sport is tough and how it could be accomplished with hard work and effort! ^ ^

I think this article was amazing! I like how it talks about how good they are and that volleyball helps with their anxiety and is something that they like doing. I like how they know what they messed up on and what they can do to fix it and do better next time. Communication and teamwork are key and it seems like they all have that and they all know how to work together as a team.
