The charger varsity volleyball players are wrapping up their 2021 regular season and revving up for their playoff games. They started off the year strong but then hit a rough patch in the middle season resulting in a few consecutive losses. The team persevered through though and was able to have a successful end of the season securing the last couple of wins. Senior captain Kaylee Hunter reflects on how they were able to get through those tough couple of weeks “For me, it was really just trying to bring the team together so we could work towards our goal of making a run in playoffs. Once we were all on the same page, we really worked well together and played really well.” The Chargers finished the regular season with a record of 10-13. During the season, one of the most favorite memories was being one of the only teams to take a set from Sleepy Eye St. Mary’s. Although it has been a fun run, the team has been putting in the work in practice preparing for the upcoming playoff game. The chargers received the 4th seed in the subsection by a mere coin flip decision and were able to grab the home-court advantage. The Chargers host Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial (5th seed) on Thursday, October 28.
Senior Captain Sam Dalueg states how the team has been gearing up for the postseason: “Going into the playoffs we have to have the “ALL IN” mentality. Every game we want to show up and give it our all because we don't know if we'll live to play another day.”The theme for Thursday's volleyball game will be spirit wear. The Pep band will be playing as well. Come out and support your lady chargers as they take on the knights.
