Taking on new competition Tuesday, the Redhawks volleyball team heads to the newly opened Walnut Grove High School in Prosper, seeking to continue their District 10-5A (5-0) win streak.
“We hope to go into the game confident and shut them down as quickly as possible,” senior Grace Payne said.
For every game, the team conducts a scouting report on the opponent to learn what they’re up against. Being a new school, the Redhawks have little to judge Walnut Grove on.
“With the other teams in our district, a lot of the other teams are bringing back a lot of their same people so it’s a little bit easier for scout,” head coach Eighmy Dobbins said. “But with Walnut Grove ,just because we have never seen them play, [requires] more preparation on the front end.”
The new school comes with a 2,200-seat arena with seating on all four sides.
“Since we haven’t played in an arena in a very long time it might be a little intimidating,” Payne said. “But it shouldn’t affect our game.”
