JV volleyball team showing improvement

by Chelsie Darrow

The start of the J.V season has been a bit off. They have won one game it was against Burr Oak. Sophomore Heather Mason gave us her view on why she thought we won. “I think we won because we worked well as a team together,” said Heather. This year all the games have been really close. The whole team has worked really hard. With a little more work we could see all wins! We are looking forward to that in future games.

The game against Hillsdale Academy was pretty close, but unfortunately we lost. Sophomore Keely Sanders thinks its time the Ladycat team had some renovations. “We have room for improvements, but we basically just need to work together and learn to set it up. Our problem is we don’t think before we act. We need to be smart and make good passes to the setter,” explained Keely.

The J.V team had a tournament on Saturday, September 20. The tournament was at Hudson, and Pittsford played many schools that we normally don’t play. We did pretty well considering the opponents that we were up against. We won 2 out of four games, and they were all really close; the whole team worked very hard.

The J.V team played North Adams on Thursday, September 25. It was a very intense game with North Adams winning the first, Pittsford winning the second, and North Adams taking the third game for the win. Sophomore Jade Smith expresses her thoughts on the loss to North Adams. “I think that we all worked really hard in all 3 games, we were all talking and trying our hardest, but we needed to get our serves in, and make smart choices and that’s what cost us the game. We can only get better though!” exclaimed Jade.
