Volleyball Archer Varsity Volleyball is well into its season. The 12 girls began practicing on August 3 and have played five games against Walton, Grayson, South Gwinnett, Peachtree Ridge, and Mountain View High Schools. Their 1-4 record isn’t looking too good thus far, but, as stated by senior Angie Cruz in an interview, the teammates are still growing to gain more trust in each other each day. “We all came from different backgrounds,” she reflected. “We’ve had different experiences and yet, here we are, having to work together and sharing a common bond.” Along with hard work and the competitive spirit that junior Emma Moore describes to be her favorite aspect of playing volleyball, this bond is one of the most vital components to success. It is continuously strengthened not only through practicing together each day, but through the team bonding nights that are regularly organized. As far as the team’s goals, they have set them high, as a group as well as individually. They hope to improve as a whole and end the season on a good note. When Emma Moore was asked about her individual goals for the season, she responded “I really want to start a game this season…and to beat Mountain View.” All of us wish our Tigers Volleyball team the best of luck in their endeavors.
