Emma Ehrler – 8th Grade Volleyball
8th Grade Coach Ruth Ann Einsweiler commented, “This season Emma has been a leader for the 8th grade team. She is leading the team in assists and is always striving to give each hitter the exact set they like. At the Galena 8th grade tournament this past Saturday, Emma had some amazing serving runs that led us to a second place finish after losing to Stockton in the championship game in 3 tough sets. Emma’s love for the sport shows and will help us finish the season strong.”
Cora McCoy – 8th Grade Volleyball
8th Grade Coach Einsweiler said, “Cora is one of the most consistent players on the team. As an outside hitter, she knows how to move the ball around by hitting line, cross court, and catching them off guard with tips. This season though she has really shined in the back row. She can read the ball very well and be exactly where the ball is. These skills along with her strong serves, led the team to 6 wins this week.”
