On Tuesday, September 9th, the Northeast varsity volleyball team faced the West Liberty Comets. It was a big game to look forward to because West Liberty was a ranked team and extremely virtuous. I still remember the nervous feeling I had before the start of the game until the first ball was served. The score of the first match ended up being 22-25, with West Liberty taking the win. The following two matches weren’t as close as the first one and West Liberty ended up beating us in the three matches we played. Although we lost, I really looked up to the West Liberty team.

What would someone do if a new member showed up and created problems to the team they have had success with? Would you just ignore the problem at hand or step up and take a sacrifice for the team? Nobody wants the one kid who will ruin the team’s future. They only want them to be a team player. A team player is supposed to be a person who is willingly working in cooperation with others. I am sure everyone has had that one person on the team or several people who have not earned their role as a…

wire fences carry windscreens, at the height of seven feet. A height that should prevent balls from escaping the cage. On the ground, lays a foundation of smooth cement colored a soft shade of red with six green rectangles reaching the length of 75ft. The outline of white lines designate the center lines, ally lines and the base lines of the court. This is where I spend about ten to fifteen hours per week, running up and down the courts, swinging the racquet as fast I can, to return the tennis…
