During the 2023 boys volleyball season, the junior varsity (JV) team gained some new recruits. We interviewed some of these new players, asking about their experience on the team. First off, we wondered what motivated them to try out this year. Ryan Kim (Class of 26’) stated, “I’d say it would have to be my love of the sport ever since I started playing back in eighth grade.” On the other hand, Zachary Buenaventura (Class of 25’) stated, “It wasn’t originally a plan but half my friends were on the team and seeing them play was really cool. Especially seeing the girls play, I always watched the games and it was something I wanted to try out. In PE, I tried it out and it eventually became something I wanted to pursue and join the team.” Most of the new JV players prior to the season have played volleyball and fell in love with the sport. Over time, you gain a love for the sport you play. We asked the players what they enjoyed most about volleyball. Ralph Bajo (Class of 25’) stated, “My favorite thing is playing with my friends, playing with the team, we’ve created this bond as if we’re a family… The competitiveness overall.” With the competitive aspect of the sport, Ralph continues to be motivated to become the best at the sport he loves. Along with that, the community you’re around is also important as it builds a sense of family bond. The boys have been a team for about 3 months so far. They’ve developed a strong bond that they consider a family. Izac Garcia (Class of 25’) mentioned, “My friends in the team are all very close. We build a strong family.” AJ Dominguez (Class of 25’) then said, “I really like the team, honestly, it’s fun just being around them and playing with them, just you know goofing off.” Throughout the season, the boys on the team have made successful chemistry to help them win their games. Lastly, as the season is coming to an end, we asked what each player is looking forward to most. Jaden Gonzalez (Class of 25’) replied, “Winning our last few games.” With the last home game being on April 17, it is a very special game. Nam Thai (Class of 25’) commented, “[I’m excited for] Senior night.” The new JV players are sad to see the seniors leave, but are excited for them to strive for their future endeavors. In the end, the new JV players have been very successful and continue to work hard to finish the season strong. JV non-league record: (8-3) Comments are closed.
