Senior Gabriela Alvarez, who is in her fourth year of volleyball for VHS, said, “I think we did really good, we were able to control the game from the start and beat CI.”

When asked about the Cougars varsity team, Alvarez said, “I feel like we’re looking pretty strong especially in our new league. We’re tiny in height compared to the other teams but our connection and hard work makes up for it.”

She also added that the Cougars have a “good chance” of winning first in league and they hope to bring back some trophies from tournament.
