Brandon-Evansville Volleyball (Season Recap)
The Brandon-Evansville Volleyball team wrapped up its season on Monday, November 27 with a banquet and awards at the Evansville Community Center. The varsity team finished the season 11-12.
"We learned a lot about each other as we worked to improve communication and team spirit," commented Head Coach Gina Christopherson. "While we weren't always coming out on top, we never gave up. This team fought for every ball and worked hard to finish every game strong. That is impressive."
The JV/C team developed into stronger players with quicker feet, improved communication, and stronger volleyball IQ over the course of the season. "They started the year as a more timid group but finished the season with vigor and determination. Their overall growth was astounding to watch in playback of their games. I am very proud of what they were able to accomplish," said Coach Christopherson.
"Thank you to all of the Chargers, their families, and the community for your support this year. We, as a coaching staff, really appreciate all of your time, effort, support, and patience as we navigated this year as a new coaching staff. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Hope to see you all next season!" from Coach Gina, Coach Kami, and Coach Shyanna.
