High Ropes and High Hopes

(8/25/07)  The volleyball team headed out to Mo Ranch on Saturday afternoon, to experience the challenges of the camp's high ropes course.  The team's 15 players donned harnesses and helmets and tackled several of the ranch's high elements. 

"Teambuilding is important for us this season," said head coach John Wyatt Greenlee.  "We've got a great team coming back from last year, and a fantastic group of new players as well.  The faster we can bring the freshmen into our family, the better our chances this season."

"Our time out here at the ropes course is well spent.  The girls are learning about overcoming their self-imposed obstacles, about helping each other through tough situations, and about trusting their teammates.  All of these are lessons that will serve us well as we head into our season."

"Last year's team missed out on making playoffs by one match.  We're determined to not let it come down to that this year.  We have the talent and the drive, but we're still learning the trust element.  So hopefully today's activities will speed that along."

The Mountaineers open their season at home next Friday against Our Lady of the Lake.  The match will start at 7:00 pm.
