SETTING UP FOR SUCCESS

By Cameron Harris Assistant Editor

The Warren Central Boys Volleyball team is in their first season, and they are putting in their best efforts to make it memorable. As a group of athletes that are starting something new at Warren Central, they have a lot of expectations as to the positive narrative they have the opportunity to create about Warren Central’s Boys Volleyball team.

Of course, being a new program is difficult, due to most of the players not having played the sport before and just learning the basics every day. However, the boys are doing everything they can to compete this season.

“The goal I have for our season is to show that even because we are a first-year team we can play amongst the best of them, and show heart,” junior Andru Wright said.

A lot of the team shares a passion for the game, even though they just started playing. The excitement for the sport is one of the reasons it started to become the sport that it is today. A lot of boys that liked volleyball were previously only to play it as a club sport outside of school, but now they have the opportunity to create that same amount of passion and excitement for the game in a school environment.

“It’s very important that Boys Volleyball is becoming an official sport because it gives young men another opportunity to express their talents rather than the sports we usually see,” Wright said.

Boys Volleyball is not a newer sport in general, but specifically at Warren Central, it is. The athletes on the team are excited to be the start of something new for the Warriors and hope to see it get even more prominent in the Warrior Nation.

“Over the years, people will talk about the team who started it and who made it possible to play against other oppo nents,” junior Hector Juarez said.

Another good thing about Boys Volley ball is that everybody plays a role in the results of the team. When one person gets better, it is beneficial to the whole team.

“The most enjoyable part about playing volleyball is being a part of a team and playing an essential role in the team’s success,” junior Evan Wilson said.

Overall, the team just wants to bring a name to this new program and help it grow into a bigger sport at Warren Central that competes on a state championship level.

“I think a lot of people still don’t know much about the team. Over the years, more people will join and it will finally get the attention it deserves,” Juarez said.
