PUTTING A NICK ON THE PLAYERS NAMES

After looking over the 1000’s of photos I have from Volleyball games last year, I decided it was time to give some of these talented Ladynecks nicknames from what I see in the photographs that I have taken. There is no intent to

Abbey “The Hammer” Bybel – She has an awesome power spike that often nails down the opposition in their tracks. Her towering defensive presence strikes fear in the eyes of those across the net from her.

Morgan “The Determinator” Wilson – She has that look of determination once she steps on the court that she’s not holding anything back and she doesn’t.

Hannah “The Blond Bomber” Childress - Her jumping ability looks silky smooth and her deliveries were like missiles. And of course, she’s blond.

Hailee “The Happy Hitter” Washburn – Always smiling before, during, and after she’s knocked the competition silly with one of her whopping slammers.

Tara “The Wiz” Wait – The analytically smart player who is always surveying the court to be at the right place at the right time.

I’m reserving the right to hand out more nicknames as the season progresses and I photograph the newest varsity members.

Leave a comment to give your proposed nicknames for our Ladynecks  (if you keep ‘em clean!)

SWEAT AND SERVICE TIME

The Ladynecks Volleyball team has launched their 2009 campaign with practices beginning August 3rd. After a 41-3 season last year (which followed a 41-2 record), the Ladynecks have set a high standard to live up to.  And losing 7 seniors to graduation from last years squad (including First Team All-State Setter Natalie Craven), the Ladynecks will need to mature quickly, but having a talented pool of young experienced returnees will be a great foundation to build on. Juniors Hannah Childress, Tara Wait, Hailee Washburn, and Morgan Wilson saw lots of action last year along with Sophomore Abbey Bybel (East Texas Volleyball Top Newcomer last year as a Freshman). Both Bybel and Wilson were named All-State Honorable Mention last year.
