A Special Tuesday Night At CCS

Have you been keeping up with the girls’ varsity volleyball team this season? If not, you’re missing out on another great year. The girls finished their season with only one loss. They played at their conference tournament last Saturday and after a long battle with Zion, they took first place. Something really great about this team is that they work so well together. When they’re connected, it seems that nothing can stop them.

 

Last Tuesday was a unique night for the Eagles. First, it was a tri-match here at Calvary. The eagles played the Black River Rats and Providence Storm. Both the JV and Varsity finished the night with two wins.

Another reason Tuesday was a memorable night was because it was the last home game of the season. As the fans gathered along the sidelines, we all soaked in the last moments of the volleyball season together. 

For some girls, this was just the last home game of the season. But that night, three Eagles approached the volleyball court at Calvary for the very last time. As they prepared to take the court, the girls reminisced about the first time they played volleyball together in that very same gym in 5^th grade. As the game began, they knew this the last time they would line up and wear that royal blue jersey. Finishing with two wins was a great way to end their regular season careers. After the game, Mr. Maine reminded us again why this was a special night at Calvary. As the senior parents lined up with flowers and chocolates for the girls, three seniors exchanged anxious and tearful glances. Hayley Mohr, Natalie Kapanka, and Shymari Harris walked to center court to meet their parents and say thank you to Coach Heather Denger for coaching them all these years.  

 

If you weren’t able to make it to the game, don’t worry! The girls play in their first game of districts Wednesday, October 31, against Muskegon Catholic Central at 7pm at Muskegon Catholic. Come out and support your Lady Eagles!
