“We were playing hard. Two hard fought sets. Volleyball is just a fun sport. It can can change in an instant, and it did. We just got out of sync in game three… and didn’t bounce back. Then, we never really found ourselves again,” she said.
Since they were the runner-up in the District, they were still able to advance to Regionals, however, they lost 3-2 against Crockett County in the semifinals.
For the season, Humprhy said she could not be more proud of the girls.
“I can’t be more pleased with the season. We went 10-0 in the district it was pretty big. It’s been a few years since I’ve done that.
Humprhy said that Trice truly deserved being Player of the Year.
“Tori deserved MVP. She has worked her tail off. Whatever I ask of her, she’s going to do. She works and plays with her heart the whole time.”
