The skinny:The program in its third season of existance will look to continue its progress, winning six matches last season after a winless 2007. ... Growth has been evident in other ways, with 24 girls playing this year. ... The Lady Rams will be breaking in a new setter, Taylor Poorman, after the graduation of Rimmey. Poorman set for the junior varsity last year. ... The Lady Rams return four starters, including middle hitter Maria Andrews, who was second on the team in kills last year. ... Competing at outside hitter are Kendyl Paolini, Courtney Poorman and Kasey Packer, while opposites include Megan Decker and Sadie Snyder. ... Kelsey Jordan and Morgan Holsopple are fighting for the other middle position. ... The battle at libero is wide open.
Coach Borland says: “We’re throwing a lot of new things at them in practice and they’re picking it up quickly. We have experience, but it still doesn’t compare to the other teams who start their kids so much earlier. But at least we have those returning girls who played for three years.”
