Volleyball coach, Kaitlin Brock, states,

“I am so incredibly proud of these girls! We have had limited practice time due to inclement weather, yet they put their all into that little bit of time and their hard work has shown. They are all so incredibly supportive of each other and have truly worked as a team. The future is in fact very bright for the Red Bird Volleyball program!”
