For the girls of the Year 8 Red Volleyball team for Proserpine State High School, coming home from the Queensland Volleyball Junior Schools Cup with Gold for Division 2 was a massive achievement.
Travelling to the Gold Coast for the competition, the girls were eager to showcase their growth, development, and improved skills on the court, with this year being the second time some of the girls have made it to the Schools Cup.
The team played five games across three days of competition and were victorious for each game.
“It was very exciting,” said Mia Clark.
“We played our best and it worked out.”
With some of the teammates only recently joining the team, the girls were proud of their wins, ultimately coming home with the Gold for Division 2.
And what do they say to other students who wish to get into the sport.
“Just get involved,” said Jorja Easton
“If you’ve been playing for a few years in primary school, you’ll be great,” said Mia.
“But starting in Year 7 is great, because you get so many opportunities to play.”
Pania Corowa explained that Proserpine State High School “Has some really great coaches.”
“Our coach this year was Miss Ryan, and she was great. She was focussed and positive, and she was so organised,” Pania said.
Pania was also shocked at the end of the compeition, being crowned the Most Valuable Player for the competition.
“It was a massive surprise, but it was so good,” she explained.
Jorja tells the story differently, “She was so shocked! She didn’t expect it at all!”
She was selected MVP by Queensland professional representatives, due to her good sportsmanship, teamwork, and growth over the competition.
“It was a really good feeling, from only landing fourth place last year, to getting MVP. It was so good.”
