What does the future have in store for the Norton High Girls' Volleyball Program? Progress. The Norton High Volleyball Team has improved substantially over the past few years and has the potential to become even greater. During the 2010-2011 season, the girls had a poor record of 2 wins and 12 loses and won only 9sets in the fourteen games. As a fan, I went to most games expecting not to even win a set or to even see a close set. This made it very hard to cheer for the team, yet the fans stayed faithful through every devastating loss. Luckily, things would soon change!
In just two short years, the team was able to go from 2-12 to a winning season at 11-9 in 2012-13! They also managed to go 6-3 at Home which gave fans a real reason to cheer. How was this program able to go from one of the worsts in the league to a top contender in just two seasons? Hard work, dedication, determination, discipline, chemistry, and great coaching. The girls were practicing long and hard after school everyday and developed their chemistry further through each season. They were tired of being the team at school that almost never won and so they strived for change!
By the end of the 2012-13 season, the volleyball team took its place as one of the many winning teams at Norton High. The only question left was if that season was the start of something great rather than just a one time winning season. Well so far, the 2012-13 season has not yet helped answer this question.
The girls have started out with a 2-3 record losing to three of the better schools in the area, King Phillip, Medfield, and Hopkinton. They fought hard against all three power house teams winning at least one set in each game and keeping every set close. The girls also faced Foxboro which is another great team from the area, but this time they showed their greatness and easily defeated them by winning 3 out of the 4 sets. This big win gave hope to the thought of another consecutive winning season. The girls other win of the season was against another conference team, Ashland, which was a swift victory that ended in just three sets. The team lead by Senior Captains Jackie Dunne, Abby Anderson, Sam Olsen, and Meghan Pestana looks to continue its win streak facing Holliston 9/25.
We wish the girls luck and look forward to another great season!
