Chants and cheers erupted in the Francis Howell Central gym as the girls varsity volleyball team began their match with the Liberty eagles on September 16. Although the Spartans lost 3-1 the team kept their spirits high. Junior Natalie Hirth has been playing volleyball for 4 years and started when she was only in 8th grade. Hirth hopes to continue playing for as long as possible. During the match the team kept each other motivated and would gather to congratulate each other after a properly executed play or even a helpful assist. Hirth explains how her team motivates her.
“My team motivates me by giving me high fives and helping me when I feel down,” Hirth said. “They’re always there with a smile to make sure I know it’s going to be okay”
The girls varsity volleyball team continued on to win 3-2 against Troy Buchanan on September 30th.
