Eagles volleyball is coming off an electric season, and after tallying a 22-5 record, winning Region, and making it to the quarterfinals in last year’s state tournament, they hope to replicate their success this season. While the Lady Eagles will miss departing graduates Jaelynn Musser, Lexi Timpson, and Leta Hammon, they will be in great hands this year under the leadership of 6 standout seniors.

This season’s defensive specialists include senior Sabrina Naylor and Priscilla Black. Juniors Aiyana Hammon and Ruth Timpson will join senior Marissa Williams at Middle Blocker. Rotating as Outside Hitter will be seniors Adison Musser and Sarita Timpson with juniors Samantha Hammon and Priscilla Black. Right Side hitters will be standout seniors Ashlynn Hammon, Adison Musser, and Sarita Timpson. Setting for the Eagles will be Ashlyn and Alyssa Hammon while rotating at Libero will be Alyssa Hammon and Sabrina Naylor.

The Eagles will be led by first year co-coaches Daisy Mills and Guinevere Timpson. Coach Guinevere led last year’s JV program to a successful season, while Coach Daisy, a state championship winning coach, has joined us from Las Vegas. Coach Daisy also has collegiate experience having played and coached at Long Beach State.

How will the Eagles measure success this season? “You’ve gotta have some wins, you’ve gotta have some fun, and you have to learn something” says Coach Daisy. “We have some really strong hitters, strong servers, and they’re all really strong leaders.” Aiyana Hammon adds the importance of player mindset and attitude, saying, “we can put all this work in practice and we can do reps upon reps upon reps, but our mental game and mindset is going to take us down or build us up.” Junior Samantha Hammon couldn’t hold back her optimism about this upcoming season: “I’m looking forward to playing with my seniors before they leave,” says Hammon. “I just think this year’s going to be a lot to remember.”

The Lady Eagles kick off their season with back to back games, playing Grey Hills on the road on Wednesday and Water Canyon at home on Thursday. Come cheer on the Eagles as they make another run at State!
