Last night at 7pm was the first varsity volleyball game of the season. For game one, the starting players were #2 Christine (CJ) Jensen, #3 Christine Lotz, #6 Raechel Pendergraft, #7 Liana Samuelson, #9 Kailtlyn Hatch, #13 Sarah Drew, and #11 Stephanie McGee.
The always massive team, Jackson Timberwolves, came en force and took down the last three of the four games played, in the non-conference match. These were dissapointing losses for the MTHS Girls in Spandex, who played hard and kept the scores neck-in-neck (25-23, 20-25, 23-25, 24-26).
Each girl posses a specific talent on the court yet they play so well together in almost perfect synch. Unfortunately, the littlest of misscomunication caused a laps in judgment, causing the three loses.
Raechel P. was a crowd favorite. When up to serve, Hawks fans went stir crazy cheering her on. Her and Stephanie McGee (both captains), really know how to lead their team, talking it up and keeping spirits high, though the opposing team towered over them by a good 2 feet. #5 player on Jackson even made the crowd shiver in intimidation.
Good eye to Christine Lotz who consistently saw the out, though others would most likely have gone for it.
Newbie #10 Shawna Pung, sophomore, surprised many, coming onto the court and serving Jackson with the slightest of taps to the volleyball over the net, scoring many a point. (more on Pung in the Oct. 8 print issue)
