Madison moved up to the semi-big leagues – high school. But, thankfully, there was a freshmen volleyball team. I love that for many reasons, but I think it is a good entry into the next level, and it allows for more playing time rather than being lumped in with the JV players. Madison had a great year learning how to field balls flying at her in the back row. She worked hard to get to the corners and cover the court. She also worked on her overhand serve. By the end of the season, she was consistently getting it over the net when given the opportunity. That was fun to watch develop.
Her team had 11 players this year. They had a great season – only losing one non-league game to Massillon. It will be fun to see what happens as they move through high school. (All 36 freshmen through varsity players at meet the team)
Here are some pictures from throughout the season.
One really neat thing about this year is she was on the team with her cousin, Lilli, who was a senior this year. Lilli would often transport her to and from practices and was an amazing example of a team encourager, athlete, and leader. She was able to present Lilli with the team gift on senior/parent night.
The varsity team was WCAL champs, district champs, and regional runner-ups this year.
Best of luck in your future seasons, Madison! We so much enjoyed watching you play!
