Cole Fisher Junior says, “This is the best game we have played in a while it felt like everyone on the court was in sync when we were playing, i like the fact that win or lose we stayed as a team I think that is what lead us communicate so much that game which we usually don’t do. This was our first home game and I was kind of surprised with how many fans actually showed up to the game, there were a lot of people which I was happy to see.”
Daniel Burton Junior explains, “I think overall they played really well during the game. I was very locked in since I had family members in town watching the game and I’m happy that they saw us come out with the win. I am planning on trying to get better every day since this is my first year playing volleyball but as of the moment I love the sport and also my teammates.”
The boys fought for the win against Flanagan the other day and the fans and the coach are planning to see more wins down the road. They still have a busy schedule with the next game being on March 17 at home vs Hallandale Chargers so come out and support your jag boys in the jungle go jags!
