Last Season Success: Lafayette’s last season was very successful. They won the Class 1 MSHSAA State tournament and finished with a 30-2 record.
What are some expectations going into the season?
“My expectation for this season is to have a competitive team. Hoping for the players to challenge and push each other to get better every time we step on the court,” Whitney said.
Challenges for the Season: “You never know what can happen during the season, so you always need to be prepared to shift as things arise,” Whitney said.
Players to Watch for: Whitney said to watch out for some key players, including senior outside hitter Mason Brown, senior setter Ethan Tran, senior middle blocker Collin Willis, and more.
New Faces: Whitney hopes that many newcomers will help contribute to the team’s success. One freshman that Whitney will have a big impact is outside hitter Patrick Riordan.
