Stack rides strong season to volleyball-less future an ‘A-minus’,” Stack said. “The season has gone well, but I have areas that I can improve on. I have played on a few club teams before and have experience, which has helped me be a team leader, teacher and mentor to the new players. I also contribute my success to the hard work of my teammates and the confidence my coaches have in me.” Stack’s interest in volleyball started when he was a youngster. “I have always been around volleyball because my parents have always played. But I was an individual sports kid, competing in archery, bowling, and shooting,” Stack said. “When I was around 11 years old, my parents took me with them to an open gym at the church, and I ended up getting to play and realized that this was way more fun than I thought it would be.” That led to some volleyball camps and some at-home instruction from his parents. “We would play in sand and outdoor leagues until my freshman year, and then I began playing club ball which took it to the next level,” Stack said.

We are not only teammates, but we are also friends. For many of us, it is our senior year. To finish off high school with a good volleyball season makes it that much better.” The Bluedevils advanced to the state tournament play-in round for the first time in program history. Eaglecrest won the June 18 match in straight sets. No stats were available. Stack played a big part. Through 41 sets, Stack had 164 kills and a kill percentage of 39 percent in 421 tries.
