Four year Varsity volleyball players seniors Kendall Blanzy and Chrysa Goris were in for a surprise this season as they took on the role as captains after losing many of last year’s teammates.

“Both girls have this fighter spirit in them that makes them say to themselves ‘We can win this’ before every single game,” coach Robin Yuede said.
For Blanzy and Goris, their freshman year on varsity wasn’t much different from their sophomore or junior years.   

“We stayed with the six sophomores on the team all the way up until they graduated, which was last year.   Once they left we had six open spots, so we have a pretty young team,” Blanzy said.
Although the team has a lot left to learn, with Blanzy and Goris as team captains they hope to continue their success from previous years.

“We have a lot of responsibility this year,” Goris said. “We aren’t just here to enjoy the ride anymore. When the team gets down they look at us to bring them up.”
The girls are close even off the court. Their strong relationship that impacts how they play. They have known each other since grade school.

“They are best friends on and off the court. I have never once seen them mad at each other, and they always push each other to be the best they can be,” Yuede said.  
The team currently has a winning record. They hope to win many games to finish up their high school careers.
“I work hard and listen to the coaches, I always try my hardest and am always improving,” Goris said.
