TAKING DOWN THE EAGLES: On Tuesday, Aug 20, the McCallum junior varsity volleyball team took on the Akin Eagles at home, beating them in straight sets, 25-15 and 25-10. Before this game, this year’s Knights had never beaten a team in straight sets.

For sophomore Josie Linton, this result was a testament to how much the team has improved over the past few weeks. 

“I think we all had really good serves in that game which allowed us to get more points,” Linton said.

She recalls the Knights serving most of the game, sometimes 5-10 times in a row, which allowed them to “run” away with the game.

 “I also think that each group on the court, like the first six and second six, worked well together,” Linton said. 

Linton pointed out that compared to last year, the cheering and supportiveness from the bench helped keep the team energized and the game fun. 

“Whenever we score and everyone’s together, we are all cheering,” she said.

Linton believes this is owed partly to the fact that there are more people on this year’s junior varsity team than last year.

Looking to the future, Linton believes that the group can work together to improve their communication on the court.

The Knights hope to continue their winning streak when they play the St. Andrew Highlanders at home today. Tipoff is at 6:30.
