Coach’s Take
“We’re going to have a very positive year with a lot of seniors playing. We should be in the top of our division. We have high expectations, high goals which I expect to meet.” --Coach Gaydos
They Said It
“The season is going well. Our coach is new but he’s pushing us a lot. Everyone is playing new positions and he’s teaching us ‘tricks’ of the game. We’re pulling them off pretty well. For example all of the varsity team is learning to jump serve which he wants us to do during games.” -- Voorhees
“I think we’re going to do really good. He’s working us really hard and it’s getting us in really good shape. He makes us dive a lot. We’re having a lot of fun and have a good bond.” -- Flaherty
