In its first year, Legend High School volleyball is looking to
be a tough team right out of the gate.
With an overall record of 6-6 as of Sept. 20, the Titans are
working on being competitive against every team it plays, coach
Katie Winsor said, and every match and practice.
“This team will develop quickly and cohesively, because they are
being pushed to compete at a high level of play immediately upon
entering high school as freshmen,” Winsor said.
The Titans are seizing their opportunity to play great
competition.
Recently, Legend made an appearance in tournament action at Rock
Canyon High School in Highlands Ranch, where they placed fifth in
the junior varsity tournament.
“[This is] a huge accomplishment for a team of all freshmen,”
Winsor said. “But we also experienced a lot of growth that day
against more experienced players.”
Winsor said the Titans’ best game of the year so far was against
Valor Christian, which Legend lost in four tight sets (26-24,
27-25, 23-25, 25-22).
“Though we weren’t victorious, point-for-point games like this
are a great test of our stamina and help us develop ways to
maintain a high level of play,” the inaugural coach said. “The
girls are beginning to be scrappy in order to find a way to win.
Matches like that begin preparing us for a future of playoffs when
we are older.”
The Titans’ top players are outside hitter Danielle Grever,
outside hitter Sydney Houser, setter Emily Jarvis and libero Kylee
Guillen.
