With a strong mixture of returning players and freshmen, the Robert C. Byrd Lady Eagles Volleyball Team is expected to have another excellent season, attempting to match last year’s trip to Charleston for the State tournament. Four out of the previous season’s six starting players have returned and are excited to begin the year. The team has a lot to look forward to, as their underclassmen are also performing well. "We have one of the strongest freshman classes we’ve ever had." stated Coach Ron Gilmore. "I expect great things from our girls."
Although the Lady Eagles lost a close game in 3 sets against Buckhannon-Upshur, they showed promise for the rest of the season. Their off-season training shone through as many of the players had greatly improved from the last season. While it will be tough to replace graduated Seniors Kalilah Lasenby and Alissa Ford, many have stepped up to the challenge and are hoping to excel. In the coming month, the team has many exciting games, including a tri-match against Fairmont Senior and Tyler Consolidated on September 18th, and the annual MCM Eagles Classic, an all-day tournament held in the Robert C. Byrd Gym on September 22nd. Hunter Cutlip
