Volley For A Cure!

The volleyball season is moving along and it’s time for one of the game that we look forward to every year, our annual fundraiser game against Page High School. Every year we have a benefit volleyball game, bake sale and raffle to raise awareness and funds for a cause. This year we decided to work with the American Cancer Society to raise money for all types of cancer instead of choosing one particular cancer. This event really hit home for our team this year because several of the players on our teams have had close family members who have been affected by some form of cancer. The game and the entire event was a great success.

We were invited to play out of our conference in a “Dig Pink” Fundraiser game. This invitation gave our team the opportunity to play against several teams we would not normally play against during our regular volleyball season. All of the teams were good competitors and the funds raised from the cost of admission and the concession sales were donated to breast cancer research.

As a volleyball competitor our goal was to work hard during the season, make the playoffs and play in the championship game. While our goal may be to make it to the championship games we also want to display good sportsmanship and respect to our opponents.

I knew this would be my last season as a volleyball player but everything seems final once the ladies on the varsity team were recognized on Senior Night. I am so proud of myself and my senior teammates for toughing it out through a lot of drama and messiness this season. Our teammates presented us with beautiful monogrammed bags packed full of items and gift cards but the best part was the hand written letters from our underclass teammates. The night was very special and we were able to share it with our parents who escorted us center court for recognition.
