Killed It: Girls Volleyball Team Completes Record Season

Writer / Keeley Miller

For the girls volleyball team, the 2015 season was one for the books. At the start of the season, the goals for the team were to win sectionals and compete for the state championship. With a regionals champion title and a 35-3 record, the team finished strong.

“[The team performed] unbelievably well. We got 35-3 on the season which is a school record for wins. We won the school’s first sectional championship in seven years,” said coach Jason Young. “We won the first regional championship for volleyball and lost in the state semi-final. We were ranked second in the state and 11th in the country for most of the year.”

Beyond an excellent performance on the court, the volleyball team also excelled in the classroom. With top students, this year’s roster will be the fourth consecutive team to be recognized with a AVCA team academic award.

Senior leadership, team chemistry and top coaches along with hard work launched the girls volleyball team to success. Bonding on and off the court, the athletes grew close throughout the season.

“They loved playing with and for each other. This group cared so much about how they played and how they represented the community,” said Young. “I had tremendous support from the parents and administration which made my job an easy one.”

The 2015 HSE Girls Volleyball team’s success has laid the groundwork for future teams to succeed as well.

“It is the beginning of great things for Hamilton Southeastern volleyball. My hope is that we inspired the next generation of great female volleyball players, and that the current group is motivated to take the program to the next level,” said Young. “I believe they will.”
