Team captains Briette Updike and Ashley Budden have set up their young varsity team of mainly sophomores and juniors for a 4-0 conference record are spiking down the competition with both a first and second place tournament win so far this season. Starters this year are Ashley Budden, Briette Updike (both ’15), Jenna Phillips, Rachel Emendorfer, Maddie Carroll, and Claire Tashner (all ’16). This young team is not only very talented, but they have a lot of big goals, such as winning conference for both this year and next, and getting as far as they can in the post season games. Hard work and determination are characteristics that can be found in all team members, and this common ground makes the team close. “My teammates are great,” says Ashley Budden. “Everyone is hilarious and seriously makes me laugh all the time.”
On the JV team, Brelynn Updike (‘17) and Lexi Budden (‘16) follow in their sisters’ footsteps as they show leadership, along with Allison Woodworth and Faye Bailie (both ’16). The JV currently holds a record of 2-2 in conference games, while this year’s fabulous freshman have started off their season with a record of 1-3. Brelynn says, “Our goal for this year is to win more games than JV has in the past. Normally JV doesn’t even win half their games, but we are hoping to change that.” Looks like they’re off to a great start considering they won their one and only tournament of the season.
