Lilykay Studdard, a sophomore, was asked about how they can get better from the game. She stated, “We can improve our attitude and negativity because when we start losing, we just keep losing”. Negative emotion can change the game from better to worse.

WGHS Junior, Inaya Spencer, had a lot to say about the loss to East Forsyth. “Honestly, we were really tired. The school is two hours away and it was very hot on the bus. It was so hot we felt like crying. Everyone was also really exhausted from school. The team we played wasn’t really that challenging, so we could’ve beat them.” When asked a follow up question about the team's practice, she says, “The team puts in a lot of effort,  everybody has their own part because we all play different positions, so it’s different amounts of effort. All together, we all practice very hard.”    
​
When asked about how she gets prepared for games, especially on hot bus rides there, Lena Battenfield stated “I listen to music” and when asked if any chants or phrases are used by the team during the games she stated “We have our own cheers like chick chick boom.”

WGHS volleyball team looks to break this tie with their next game being at home on Tuesday vs Bethlehem Christian Academy whose overall win ratio is 3-2.
