The Lady Lions volleyball team’s varsity experience heading into this year’s season is despairingly low.
Most of their leadership and varsity time will come from junior Morgan Bohanan.
"Morgan is a hard worker, has a lot of skill, and brings competitiveness to the team," varsity coach Tish Dimick said.
Another shining spot of knowledge of the varsity game comes from junior Emily Rausch who was able to experience limited time on the court last season.
"Emily has set a good example in practice through sportsmanship, hard work, and a nice work ethic," Dimick said.
This year has been viewed as somewhat of a rebuilding year for the team but that does not mean there are not expectations for the group.
"I want us to compete at a high level against other teams in the league," Dimick said.
A certain mindset needs to be instilled in a team that has little experience in a year of rebuilding.
"We need to be working hard, trying to work on their skills and improving as a team to be competitive," Dimick said.
The next few years look to be strong for the team due to some new incoming talent seen at practice.
"We have strong freshman coming in and some strength in some of our sophomores," Dimick said.
The volleyball squad opens the season in a match against Hutchinson on August 25th.
