The John Paul II Collegiate senior girls volleyball team wasted no time getting off on the right foot this season, with a gold medal win opening weekend in Wilkie.
The Crusaders’ seniors won all four of their games through pool play, before adding another two straight in the playoff rounds, defeating their rivals from Unity and the hosts from Wilkie’s Mclurg High School, the latter of which in straight-set victories by a 25-15 and 25-12 margin to finish atop the podium.
Head coach Quinn Baynham, who along with assistant coach Bryce Craig are in their first year with the team, said it was great to see the players come together quickly and embrace some different looks early on in the season.
“It was a good learning weekend for both us [the coaches,] and the players,” she said. “We mixed up the players and had them playing in different positions just to kind of see who fit where, who worked well together, and all the girls got to play which was really good for all of them. By the end we were really playing hard, having fun, and things were working out nicely.”
