First Volleyball and Football Games of the Season

By Claudia Jimenez

            BUMP! SET! SPIKE! The Woodlands Prep girls’ volleyball team is ready for the 2014-15 season! This year, there are 19 very talented girls on the team: Claudia Jimenez, Onome Amudo, Sara Dechant, Ariel Daisy, Liliana Valdivia, Hailey Gaige, Cathryn Saninno, Camryn Sosa, Tanielle Joseph, Nakashu Ghuman, Estefania Tizon, Obie Amudo, Casey Gaige, Denise Jaidar, Elaine Pauli, Layneth Iovino, Caelan Elsborg, Mimi Olayeye, and Casey Gaige. All these girls are pumped and motivated for the season to begin. Their first game was on Tuesday, August 26, where they played against Frassati. Unfortunately, our Lady Wolverines lost; however, it was a very close game and the girls played very well. This week the girls have a home game on Tuesday, September against their rivalry, Calvary! They played four out of five games and won the first two, lost the third game and won the last! We had many aces’ from Sara, Hailey, Cathryn, Ariel, and Camryn, as well as kills from Sara, Hailey, and Camryn. Coach Holburt had a few words about the season: “I’m excited to be here with the team, I believe we have a lot of talent, and I’m looking forward to the season to bring the talent all together.”

            DOWN! SET! HUT! This is the second year that the Woodlands Prep has a flag football team and their first game was on Thursday, August 28, 2014. The boys team includes: Spencer Dobrik (the quarterback), Nicholas Schaps, Brandon Gale, Nik Hammond, Josef Carnahan, Rodrigo Lopez, Declan Gunn, Eyitee Olayeye, and Dilichi Ogbutor. During this game, Josef caught an interception and ran it back for a touchdown Then, Spencer ran in the touchdown. Their final score was a close 12-7. Dilichi is the only freshmen on the team and he feels very welcomed; even though he is the youngest, he feels as though he’s one of the older kids. Their next game is Friday, September 12, 2014.

Let’s go Wolverines!!
