The Wrangell High School volleyball team travelled to Tok this weekend for their first tournament of the season. Coach Jessica Whitaker said that she decided to take her team beyond Southeast Alaska this year to play against teams they otherwise wouldn’t have as much contact with.
At the 2A tournament, the team played against Tok’s volleyball team, but also against schools from Nenana, Kenny Lake, Cordova, and Glennallen. The team came home to Wrangell in third place, behind Glennallen in first and Cordova in second. Whitaker said she was proud of her team and is looking forward to improving upon their performance.
“We sat down and went over our statistics, and talked about what we want to work on over the next ten days,” she said. “We need to work on our passing game.”
Whitaker gave a shout out to one of her players in particular, senior Hellen Decker. Whitaker said that Decker took on a leadership role in the last tournament and really helped the team, and that her performance was impressive.
The volleyball team will be leaving town again soon for the Juneau invitational tournament. They also have two home games coming up, on Oct. 26 and 27. Whitaker said the team has a fundraiser dinner coming up on Oct. 28 with tickets going on sale this Saturday.
