Varsity Team group huddle.

Volleyball season is in full swing here at Minarets! With the start of a new season, comes many expectations and goals. In an interview with Varsity Head Coach, Jessica Chacon, she shared a few of those goals. One expectation is for the team to go undefeated in league and to continue the six year streak of holding the League Champion title. Coach Chacon said, “I have really high hopes for this team, I think this team is going to go really far if we can keep our A.E.D. strong--that is attitude, energy and discipline.” The team hopes to fulfill those expectations and more...with one of their ultimate goals being to win Valley Championships this year.


Varsity team on the court.

On Tuesday night, the Minarets JV and Varsity Volleyball teams took on the Liberty High School Hawks in their first games of the season. The Junior Varsity team put up a fight, but the Hawks were victorious. It was a tight battle with game one finishing at 17-25 and game two finishing with an extremely close 23-25. Following the JV Game, Varsity played an exciting match where they swept in three! One of the highlights of the match was seeing the team come back from behind. Varsity was holding at 10 to 17, but with the help of the loud and energetic crowd, they preserved and pushed through for the win. The scores of the games were 25-20, 25-19, and, 25-15. It was an incredibly exciting game, and the crowds on both sides of the court were cheering extremely loud throughout!


Victory is sweet but now the Mustang Volleyball teams must prepare to take on the Yosemite Badgers on Thursday, August 22 at the Yosemite Campus. Coach Jessica stated, “I expect to see all my Mustang peeps there, ready to go, loud and proud, Mustang Pride! We can’t do it without your support.”


Frosh take the court at 4pm, JV at 5pm with Varsity to follow at approximately 6pm. Bring your spirit to one of the most exciting games of the season!
