"Teamwork" Key for Boys Varsity Volleyball
By Jenn Elias

The season is here as awaited by the men of the Valley Christian volleyball team. The boys varsity volleyball is in play and active! The boys are psyched and preparing for the West Catholic League games to begin. Rob Georges and Scott VanderVeen coach the warrior men. The team’s captain is senior Jeremy Georges. The team agrees that the coaches are tough on them when they need to be but are still fun to be around when they can “kick back.”
The team played their pre season games against Aptos, Homestead and Mt. Madonna with wins against Homestead and Mt. Madonna. Their opponents since the start of league have been St. Frances, Bellarmine, Mitty, Sacred Heart Cathedral and St. Ignatius. Against St. Francis, they played a tough four games but unfortunately lost. The hardworking team played three games against Bellarmine, and a steady four games against Mitty. The team’s top three hitters are Jeremy Georges (Outside hitter/setter), Daniel Holden (Outside hitter), and Andrew Caine (Opposite Hitter). Andrew Caine is also the #6 ranked digger in the West Catholic League. After a tough loss against Sacred Heart Cathedral, the boys regrouped and defeated St. Ignatius on the following Thursday March 17. They won in a successful three games. The kill leader of this game was Andrew Caine and helped in their first league win.
The boys varsity volleyball team has a trick play they often use. This is call the “Bear Claw Cincinnati” which is a stance for the middle front row hitter and the middle back to stand on one foot before the play begins. The only way to win a match is through teamwork. This is the phrase the team lives by to use as inspiration to play as a squad.
