Tied for first place in the District 11-5A standings, the volleyball team (5-1) has two goals for their pink-out home match against Emerson (1-5) Friday at 6:30 p.m: keep their five-game winning streak alive, and raise awareness for breast cancer.
“We are steadily progressing, so we are feeling calm and collected going into tonight,” head coach Eighmy Dobbins said. “Emerson is really pin dominant offensively, and they have more options than they have had in past seasons. Reading their offense and getting our block closed and up at the right time [will be a challenge].”
Senior Sophia Hung, however, believes that the Redhawks can be successful by doing something else.
“I think that we’ll be able to get a win as long as we stay focused and play consistent,” Hung said.
