Walter Hammond plays in a varsity volleyball game. Hammond recently returned to volleyball after leaving for a year.

Junior Walter Hammond took a year off from volleyball last year but decided to come back to the FHN boys volleyball team.

“I decided to take a mental break,” Hammond said. “I needed to focus more on school and myself before I could play volleyball again.”

Hammond expressed that it feels great to be back. He decided to come back because he really enjoys the sport and felt that he got taller and stronger.

“Do what’s best for you and try not to ruin your mental state for the sport you play,” Hammond said.
