The Calvary Volleyball squad led by Coach Jon Casey picked up with their winning ways from last season. The Lady Cavs started with a 3-0 record in the first week of action including an opening district win.
“Most of the local teams took advantage of playing club volleyball and we are seeing it in these NWLA school teams this season.” Coach Casey said. “Competition has improved in our area and I expect to see that trend continue. Calvary has a very strong team again this season. I’m very excited to see how the season unfolds. We have lots of big hitters this year who have a lot to contribute to the team. Praying for special things this year. And so thankful for another season, especially with COVID numbers where they are again.”
