Q: What made you start volleyball and what has influenced you to continue it throughout high school?

A: I started volleyball out in the driveway at my house with my sister.  We would pass and play back and forth.  I liked it enough to try out for a small little team out of my church.  I was decently good and I liked it, so I stuck with it.

Q: How do you feel about your upcoming match against Lapel on August 23?

A: I feel decent about it in our chances and hopes that the game goes well. I plan to play hard in the game and give it my all.

Q: Do you hope to continue volleyball after high school?

A: I am going to play in college, but I am not sure where yet.  I would like to continue playing because I’ve worked hard playing it for a long time now, and I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t play.
