Ending last year with a record of 26-10, the Lady Eagles are ready to start a new season. Holding a current score of 28-9, the next game is October 19th where they will be playing Carrollton Ranchview in Argyle. The district game is a crucial win if the ladies want to have a chance at winning state.

“Our goals this year are to make history and do what no other volleyball team for Argyle has ever done,” Clark Oberle, head coach of the Lady Eagles, said. “In order to achieve these goals we are going to work hard every day and improve on a daily basis.” Oberle said.

Starting with summer two-a-days and continuing practice throughout the school year, the team has been doing just that.

“The Lady Eagles work really hard every practice,” junior varsity player, Allyson Book, said. “And it really pays off. Everyone has improved so much the past few months.”

As any team player knows, skill isn’t the only thing that contributes to the girls’ success. Their attitude plays a huge roll in every game.

“We are all like sisters, which helps the chemistry on and off the court. We are comfortable with each other, which plays a big part in our success,” returning varsity player, Morgan Thompson, stated.

Even when the team is down in a game, they push through by keeping up a positive attitude.

“When we’re losing we talk about what we can do to make sure we get the next pass, next set, or next kill. We celebrate when someone does really well, and then encourage them to do it again,” varsity player, Maddie Moseley, added.

Hopefully the Lady Eagles will continue to keep up their good spirits and win against Carrollton Ranchview, as well as the rest of their opponents this year. Come support the varsity and junior varsity teams this Friday at Argyle. Varsity will play at 5:30, and the junior and freshman teams will be play at 7:00.
