Volleyball varies in performance, goes 2-1 last week
by Raegen Altman, GHS Blue Ink
The Garretson Volleyball team (14-7) has only a few more games to make a statement before entering postseason. The Blue Dragons have made improvements but still find themselves in the #5 seed in a stacked region.
The Lady Dragons have played three games last week: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
On Monday, they faced the Orioles of Lennox, which was a 3-0 win in favor of Garretson; then they turned around the next day against the MCM Cougars. In a hard-fought game, the girls were defeated 2-3.
Last Thursday, the Blue Dragons played the Tea Area Titans and defeated them 3-0.
The Blue Dragons are looking to continue their season positively into the postseason.
“I am confident in what our team can do. We have had some extremely close games with some of the best teams in the state but have struggled all season with finishing with the win. We have been working extremely hard in practice to prepare for what’s to come with regions,” said senior Anna Jones.
Junior Kaylin Koch agreed, “I have high hopes for us this postseason. I’m super excited to see our turnout. We proved that we could do it last year so we have to take that confidence and apply it this season. I believe we have a lot of potential as a team and there is still some work to do to get us prepared for regions.”
The Blue Dragons have had a pretty good student section this year which tends to keep their momentum going.
“Be loud, stand, cheer, and show up to the games,” stated Tayler Benson.
As of press time, the Garretson Dragons had four more regular season games left and then will head into the first round of regions, patiently waiting to see who their opponent will be.
Blue Dragon Volleyball will be on the home court tomorrow (Friday) versus Colman-Egan and Monday, October 24 with Sioux Valley. JV starts at 6:00 p.m. and Varsity begins at 7:15 p.m. Their final regular season game will be in Madison on Tuesday, October 25.
