Coaches Expectations: 4 yr. Varsity lettermen. 1st
team all-district selection last year and played a big role
in their play-off run 2006. Chelsea goes down in the books
as the first libero at RHS. The libero player wears an
entirely different jersey from the rest of the team and only
plays back row. She is basically a defensive specialist. We
depend on Chelsea to dig up all of the hard hits that come to
the back row. She has one of the prettiest passes on our
team. She makes her job look easy, but definitely isn’t. We
will look to Chelsea for team leadership and her 4 years of
experience will be a great asset in district
Amanda Sr.
#7
Position: Backrow
Coaches Expectations: Returning Varsity lettermen. Was part
of the Area Qualifying volleyball team last season. Gives us
added depth on the backrow. We have also discovered that she
can hit some too. She is one that we expect to come in and
help out in various positions when needed. Her experience
will be very helpful throughout district and post season
play. Amanda also has a nice serve that we will be working
in to our rotation.
Courtney Sr.
#8
Position: Outside Hitter
Coaches Expectations: Led J.V. last season and gained a ton
of experience from the constant playing time she received.
Will be used for her outside hitting this season. She has
made vast improvements in the last couple of weeks on seeing
the court and reacting to the ball. Courtney has a really
nice serve, it is really hard to read and has a lot of power
behind it. I expect her to be very consistent for us this
season and to come on strong in district.
Kassi Sr.
#10
Position: Setter/Middle Blocker/Hitter
Team
Captain
Coaches Expectations: 4 yr. Varsity Letterman, Co-Defensive
MVP from last season. Kassi was a big part of Rangers
play-off run last year. She has a great work ethic and is a
constant hustler. She has a huge heart and is very hard on
herself. She brings a lot of experience to the team with
this being her 4th year on Varsity. Our offense runs really
smooth when she is setting. Kassi sees the court well and
her tips/dinks are a major weapon when she catches a team
off-guard. For not having a lot of height she can really get
up and block. Kassi has a very consistent serve and great
court presence. We will look to Kassi for much leadership
this season. I expect great things from her in district.
Melissa Sr.
#12
Position: Hitter/Backrow
Coaches Expectations: 2nd Team All-District last season.
Very physically fit. Mentally tough, not much seems to
affect her nerves. She was mainly a backrow player last
year, but has added hitting to her resume this year. She
wasn’t real sure about tackling the hitting position, but I
think she is really beginning to enjoy it. She has really
started getting some power behind her hit and is finding the
holes to place the ball in. I definitely would not want to
be receiving her hits!!! I look for her to really step it up
in district play and be a huge threat this season.
Ashley Soph.
#14 Position: Middle Blocker
Coaches Expectations: Is one of our young talented pups.
She is our only true middle blocker. Works really hard all
the time and is very tough on herself. Is improving daily
and will come on strong as the season goes on. Her hitting
is really coming along also. Ashley is going to develop into
a really great player. She is very coachable and being a
part of the team is very important to her.
Rickie Jr.
#15
Position: Setter/Outside hitter
Coaches Expectations: Played a big role on the JV last
season. Is very coachable. Wants to be the best she can be
and is very team oriented. She set all around for the JV
last year, but is working on her hitting this season and is
doing very well. She is not one of our strongest hitters,
however, she always seems to find the holes. Rickie talks
well on the court, which works great for our system that we
use. We need her to continue developing and by district I
expect her to step up and do some great things for us.
Monique Fresh.
# 18
Setter / Backrow
Coaches
Expectations: Is the one and only fish on varsity. Does not
realize she is a freshmen. There doesn’t seem to be much
she is afraid of. Loves to work hard and knows it will
payoff in the end. Will be primarily backrow this season.
Monique will also be our back up setter when needed.
Stephanie Jr.
# 20
Middle Blocker / Outside hitter
Coaches Expectations: Further developed game last year on
JV. Really wants to build and be a factor this season.
Works hard on her approach to hit. Will mainly be outside
hitter, but will also be our backup middle blocker. I expect
her to get stronger as the season progresses and help out a
lot in district.
