Becoming Champions

This year many students on the volleyball, A-team are doing their best to become champions. So far Garner Middle School is undefeated and trying to get that trophy.

Every morning on school days, the A-team wakes up for practice at 6:00 ‘o clock in the morning and they practice in the gym. Coach Nordman teaches the students to go for the ball and not just stand there. To get points in a game is to know how to serve the ball over the net. Being on the A-team takes a lots of responsibility, like remembering to bring your clothes everyday and doing what your supposed to do. Students on the A-team are outstanding students. They do everything they need to and are keeping up their grades. They are also responsible students. They all try their hardest to win against other schools. Neely Habby(7), Mia Sels(7)  and Malory Potts(7)  are outstanding examples on the team. They do everything they need to do and are excellent players. They go for the ball, instead of just standing there and watching the ball go down to the floor. Malory, Neely and Mia are very good servers, in fact they are so good that the other team will not get a point or they would miss the ball.  They are doing their best to win every game.
