Diggin’ the Wins

Despite a slow start, Jericho varsity girls volleyball has signed off amid a record of 8-8 in the Fall 2023 season. A team consisting of 1 freshman, 4 sophomores, 5 juniors, and 5 seniors: the team has a bright future ahead of them. 

Senior captain Rayna Goodkin was pleased with the team’s compatibility despite them having many young players. She said, “In the beginning, it was rough trying to beat teams who are upperclassmen heavy, as we are a young team with mostly underclassmen starters. But as the season went on and we connected and bonded more, our chemistry on the court helped us prevail.”

Due to its youth, the team has an exciting future ahead. Sophomore Janelle Jasper said, “I think the team can be even better in the upcoming seasons.”

The girls volleyball team took part in their annual Dig Pink bake sale to raise money for breast cancer awareness.

 The returning players look forward to next year’s season.
