Description

Host Wiley Baker highlights student athletes, coaches and various sports programs from county high schools. This month, the South River Volleyball Team is featured.

A

Oh do I dig volleyball, especially in Edgewater hi I'm Wiley Baker we've been set up for another edition of athletes in action. Let's visit with us smashing good lady Seahawks volleyball squad and head coach mo Carter. Ladies Seahawks volleyball is something above the ordinary been.

B

A real joy I mean this has been the best place to coach and 21 years. Yes, and every year's been great, the girls get better as the years go on and I just love it just what I like to do? It's.

C

Really, fun I'm really like grateful that I'm able to spend my senior year at South before high school playing volleyball and just at the school in general, just a really great environment. Here, it's.

D

An honor to be a captain, this team and to lead everyone else, not only this. The varsity team, but also the program, the Bible program, so I'm really excited for the rest of the season, and hopefully we get far in playoffs I played with the other captains, Rachel and Taylor since, like sixth grade read, volleyball so just grown with them and just taken the leadership with them like as a team captain, and even if I wasn't captain on JV.

D

So but I just grew with that and tried to be the biggest leader that I could be the.

A

Hawks are nested together, looking to spread their wings for another winning season. It's.

C

Been a really good year, you've been really focus, you know like it feels like sigh checks a little bit, we've all been like come together during practice. You see during games the.

A

South River coaches have helped their Lady Hawks soar above the competition.

C

Uplifting people like when they're down and like, if someone's, not doing well she'll like take you off for a couple minutes just to like lets. You get a breather and she's really helped like develop my athletic career and just like my personality, just as a person, usually, she runs.

D

With us, we run about a mile like a little over a mile and it's every day and she's always out there running with us, and this active person that I know. Personally, we always try to keep like a fun casual relationship between the coaches, but they always push us and they're very encouraging and strict when they need to be and fun well, so when they need to be Seahawk.

A

Pride means being an ace on the court and setting yourself up by digging deep in the books. We.

B

Have student athletes and they are students before they are athletes and I, say volleyball needs to be a top-tier list, but schooling is right. There.

D

And we always like to brag about our academics, but both all of us all the players I think at least are in honors or AP classes. So, even before practice we try to help each other out with our homework and stuff. It's always. Academics come first and then athletics because, like athletics, are gonna pay your bills in the end, but there's always we are in high school. So there's a balance. All of our games are like the world to us at the time. So I mean it's it's a balance that we have to figure out.

D

C

Really important to balance athletics is school I really like I've learned that, like since my freshman year, just you can't lag on one or the other like both have to be really on point, especially for college. This.

A

Flop works together to take care of themselves for another successful flight. We.

B

Do jog at the beginning and then at the end I do try to incorporate some yoga I've been trying to a lot of stretching so not as much as I like to but and I think the girls really enjoy.

C

It we stay successful by staying healthy by before practice, we'll jump rope three times: 100, 100, reps and then they'll do 10, push-ups and 10 situps, just to warm our bodies up and it'll stretch before a game or practice coaching our eyes. That gives us a.

D

Good talk for every game make sure that we're eating right and before you run my practice show with access when, after breakfast, coach Joe always tells us to eat peanut butter, because that's our big protein source, like breakfast on our waffles at lunch with apples or whatever there.

A

Are many more than a few who cheer on the silver and blue? We.

B

Do get good fans, especially the last couple years, it's exciting, whether it's just a run apart game or just any game that it's exciting and I. Think the kids. Do you like to see it? Our fans.

D

Are great because they come on to every game, you have big posters and they don't understand something rules but they're still as loud as they can be all of our fall sports teams. Do we try to support each other whenever there's a big game, even or even if people stop by after practice, there's always some kind of sports team that supports us to.

A

Make this season fly sky high, I, just.

B

Want to go as far as we are capable of going if that states. That would be wonderful, but I haven't gotten the states in a long time. So I just want the girls to do the best they can do, and hopefully it will take us as far as we can go.

C

Definitely that would be so much fun, I think we really have the potential to, and we have the chance to say we just need to really like buckle down as a team and work really hard against winning against our Bible winning.

D

States, that's that's the main goal. That's all I can think about really just to go as far as we can and really one goal is like to be super mark always throughout, like all our four years here. So if we could just leave it all on the court, knowing that we did our best, no matter how far we go about be satisfying thanks.

A

For tuning in I'm, Wiley, Baker I'll talk to you on the court or in the field on the air or on the Anne Arundel County Public Schools YouTube channel with another edition of Anne Arundel County Public Schools athletes in action.
