Let's get your thoughts on the year, of course, no longer in the Big Nine, now in the HVL, and thoughts on how it's been going so far.

Yeah, I feel like our score doesn't resemble really our strides and our strengths this year.

The HVL is a strong conference, so even though in some ways people are like, oh, we dropped in a way, dropped down, the conference in that area is super, super strong.

So this year what we did for a lot of our weekend tournaments is we played super strong teams like Minnetonka, Jordan, Andover.

Because things, when I look back at previous seasons, I wish we would have seen a little bit more bigger competition come section time to prepare us for just different types of volleyball and styles from each team.

So, yeah, and we've had a little bit of a learning curve, I would say, in losing some of the seniors, getting people comfortable leading.

It's always hard to have them push the envelope for that, but our captains this year are Alexa Getzloff, Cora Losey, and Regan Schulz.

certainly for you now you've been involved in volleyball a good portion of your life right yes player uh in high school college coaching now from when you started coaching this let's just say the winter girls team to now what have you uh learned as a coach from like maybe day one to now and because you deal with a lot of different girls over the over the course of the you know no two teams are the same from year to year i know that
