Although the Varsity Volleyball team is currently losing in district standings, 6-1, it’s not stopping the players from striving to do better and knock out some wins this season. The volleyball girls are working extremely hard to make their comeback this year and they won’t give up until the end.

“We are currently on a losing streak but our team is working very hard to come back,” Amanda Barerra said. “We really just do it for ourselves and for our coach because we all want it so bad.”

Head Volleyball Coach Amanda Thomas, has coached many years and has brought in some new talent to help her manage the teams this year. Former softball coach, Amy Lam, helps with the JV A Team and DeCreasha Goodner is coaching the JV B Team.

Coach Thomas,wants her volleyball girls to always push to do their best every practice and every game whether they win or lose. She sees potential in all her players and will continue to work with them to get on a winning streak.

Despite the lack of success the time has a high performing players one being Asena Tapaevalu.

Tapaevalu plays for the Akins volleyball team and for a select team outside of school. She has played volleyball for many years with passion.

“Asena always has a positive attitude and is always so pumped for the games,” Barerra said.

Logan played for Akins her freshman year and transitioned to another high school for her sophomore year. Logan is now back and all of her teammates have noticed the improvement she’s made while away in not only her technique but attitude. “I’m happy I got the opportunity to come back to Akins,” Beltran said.

The volleyball teams first win against the Lehman Lobos has gotten the team back on track as well as in a positive mindset.
