eason, there is one thing that remains me at Immaculate Heart Academy. The n’s volleyball team, the Blue Eagles, y well. This year will be no different.
Their depth is something that teams don’t get very often. Immaculate Heart can win matches in many ways and doesn’t have to rely on one or two seniors. Every player on the team is capable of stepping up and contributing and we are seeing that this season. One athlete who has already made a splash for this team is sophomore Caitlin Floyd. As a freshman last season, she led the entire state with 908 assists. She may not reach that number this year, but she hasn’t slowed down much at all. The only two losses this season came against Ravenwood (Tenn) and
Brentwood (Tenn). Both matches were close, but the Blue Eagles were unable to win a set. Since those two consecutive losses, Immaculate Heart has won the past eight matches. Senior Nia Reed is leading the team with 219 kills on the season, and she has 24 aces to go along with it. Floyd and Iwaskiw share the team lead with 29 aces each. Floyd has collected 518 of the team’s 565 assists through 25 games. As the regular season winds down, the Blue Eagles are set to go the distance and are one of the favorites to take it all.
