Despite concern over the Covid-19 virus, the volleyball season has been approved to continue and they are making the most of it. 5 games into the season, the Raptors volleyball team has a record of 4-1, with their only loss coming from a close 3-1 loss to rival Bishop England. This record is especially impressive considering the circumstances. The team is required to wear masks throughout the entire warm-up and even when sitting on the bench during the match. Despite these concerns, Senior MK Kerrigan believes this team has what it takes to win a championship.

In interviewing Evie Otis, a senior captain of the volleyball team, I gained an insight into the tight knit culture the team shares:

When asked about the teams pre-match tradition, Evie exclaimed “We have a phrase we say, but it’s secret.” Truly great insight into the closely held traditions of the team.

Furthermore, when questioned on where the team gets food prior to a big match, Evie enthusiastically responded “our parents bring us food.”

This team has a lot of potential and it is clear that they are poised for a championship run. Watch out for their senior night, coming October 6th when they play Hanahanagain
