Volleyballs were flying and crowds were chanting as the Bowie volleyball team played their last game before playoffs. The team competed against strong teams and had a tough season but nothing could come between them and success.

Volleyball is now preparing for difficult games to come, as they will face the best teams in the surrounding Austin area.

“I feel good about playoffs, we’ve been practicing a lot to be prepared for any situation,” said sophomore Sabrina Bianco.

Coach Miguel Saenz has been training the girls to play well in any position so that if worst comes to worst, they’ll be able to fill spots.

“It’s good to get the different skills because not only helps us improve our individual skills, but also brings us closer as a team,” said senior captain Alicia Morales.

The only thing the Lady Dawgs can do to get as far as they can in competition is trust each other and improve upon their weaknesses. Coach Saenz has made it a point to establish trust within the team .

“We have to work hard together and as a team to make it far,” said junior Skylar James.

So far the team has been working on defense and getting familiar with other positions in order to excel during games.

“We work well together which is something that has helped us be a successful team,” said senior Taylor Beltz.

The team is pushing it’s way forward into playoffs and is trying hard to do their best in upcoming competition.

The courts are polished, volleyballs are clean, and teams are prepared to face one another during playoffs.
