On
Friday, September 21, the Darien High School Girls Volleyball team swarms the
court in their black and blue uniforms. Sophomore Jenna Ganser dives for the
ball during warm ups in order to keep the play alive.
"Every
Teardrop Is A Waterfall" by Coldplay fills the courts as the Ludlow team
practices their serves. Darien watches in anticipation as they size up their
competition.
Darien
huddles around the assistant coach as they get pumped up for their first game.
"Together!" they yell and then the game begins.
Junior Nichole
Schmitt starts the game off with a promising serve that holds true throughout
the game. Schmitt also shows off her skills in spiking to ball to make the
score 6-8 Darien.
Sophomore
Claire Naughton was also on a serving streak with more than 4 perfect serves in
a row. Darien won the first game 25 to 19 giving Ludlow a run for their money.
The girls
were able to start the second game off positively with a 6-0 lead. Darien's girls
communicated on the courts and were able to keep in tune with their fellow
players. After each point-whether they won or lost it- the girls would huddle
into a quick embrace where they would exchange encouraging words to keep their
fellow teammates motivated.
Darien
beat Fairfield Ludlow 25 to 10 in a crushing defeat. Come and watch the JV team
play St. Joseph on Monday the 24th at 5:30 in the main gym.
