“We have some good kids back and they’re excited to have another great year,” head coach Debbie Fay said.
She has high expectations from each group of seniors she coaches which include consistency and hard work.
“What works for us is that our expectations are always similar," Fay said. "They feel the pressure and do the best they can to succeed."
Middle hitter Lauren Brentlinger, outside hitter Courtney Churchman, and setter Laura Eller all bring back strong varsity experience as seniors for South along with Lindsey Pusateri who will also add to the mix and contribute this year. Brentlinger has already committed to attending Pittsburgh State University next year to play volleyball.
Junior middle hitter Bridget Paulk, sophomore outside hitter Codi Smith, and outside hitter/libero sophomore Lauren Blair will also see significant playing time.
“Our conference is a great conference," Fay said. "There’s a lot of talent from everyone we play, which makes everyone better. As for districts, it’s tough and is always a battle.”
Look for the Panthers to strongly compete for a conference and district championship again this season hoping to have another opportunity to advance to the state playoffs.
