If the Hulbert volleyball team is anything, head coach Eva Hooper wants them to be tough.
Coming into the season, the Lady Riders are ready to keep rolling with the punches, with a first-year head coach, some losses of senior players and eventual in-season injuries.
Hooper thinks the Lady Riders are going to be fine on the court, but with the season looming, she wants to makes sure her team can take adversity and grow from it.
"I want our team to progress the most in our mental toughness," Hooper said. "We've gone through some changes due to injuries, losing key players from last year and even getting a new head coach. Getting used to big changes and a different type of play can be challenging. I just want the girls to trust in themselves and each other enough to push through anything."
Building a strong mentality will play into the hands of the Lady Riders, who are expecting to have a high-powered offense this season. HHS returns Abbigal ******* , one of their leading hitters from last year, and reining Offensive Player of the Year to lead the offense's high-powered kill game.
