There has yet to be a dull audience while Greenway volleyball is the spectacle.

“We just went undefeated and won the Ceil Billings Tournament that we have hosted for the past 20 years,” head coach Sarah Peterson said.

We’re all just one big family, which makes everything a lot more fun, and makes us stronger as a team in general,” Freshman Tatum Peterson said. Peterson also said that the competitiveness of the sport is one of the best parts and contributes to the luster of each win.

Unfortunately, due to Covid regulations a few players on Greenway’s volleyball team were out sick, and led to the whole team having to quarantine themselves from practicing until further notice. Luckily, the team is healthy once again and back in peak form.

“Tatum Parrot’s serves are the scariest thing I have ever seen,” Freshman Taylor Borup said.

“The cheers that the audience got to take part in were so awesome,” Sophomore Jenna Musselwhite said.

Greenway is currently on a win streak having swept Shadow Mountain and Moon Valley. It’s going to be fun to see how far these ladies can go this year.
