Emily Bonelli The A-R Girls Volleyball team had a great season. For the first time in nine years, they advanced to the playoffs. It was a rough start to the season with Covid restrictions. The girls distanced and were not permitted to practice as a group. Under second year coaches Laura Daub and Josh Gartley, the team advanced to the playoffs with a 6-6 section record. The pandemic did not stop the volleyball team from playing a season. The team started off their season with a win against Riverview. Later into the season, the girls hit a spot where they could get into playoffs or not. They had to win their game against Trinity Christian, which was on their senior night, to advance to the playoffs. The Lady Vikings played their hearts out that night. With all the hard work they put in, the team pulled off the win and the Vikings were going to the playoffs--A feat that had not been attained in nine years!! “We all knew that game was going to be tough, and we all had to be on the same page and play together to win, and that’s what we did. We all played our best that night, and it paid off,” said sophomore Brinley Toland. “I think this past season was the best season of high school volleyball I have ever played, and I will miss the team very much,” said senior Madi Marks “This season was really fun being able to make it to playoffs for the first time in my high school career,” said senior Morgan Gamble. "I thought the season was really successful. We focused and put a lot of hard work in. I'm really proud of what this team was able to accomplish because we were able to make it to the playoffs. It's been a long time since the girls made it to the volleyball playoffs, and I am just really happy that we were able to do that. I have a lot of confidence that we will be able to continue to make it to other playoffs for years to come. This is a good step in the right direction," said senior Renee Tomiczek. Congrats on a great season, girls!
