Blue Eye volleyball will have a new look this year after graduating a seven-player senior class that won three district titles and 84 matches in their four years. “They were a talented group of girls that left their mark on our program. They were the firsts for a lot for our volleyball program. They will forever have Blue Eye’s first district win. They have multiple tournament wins from seasons gone by. They were also the first team for our school to make it to the quarterfinals,” Blue Eye head coach Taylor Wittl said. “Their record, stats, and accolades are up for everyone to see and remember them by, but what I hope most remember of this group is not just how talented they were, but their efforts they gave towards their talents. Their determination to be the best. Their work ethic to not settle for anything less than greatness. The will to win and compete with anyone and everything thrown their way. The driven mindset and mental toughness it took for them to achieve the things they did. As well as the unity and genuine encouragement of one another is what kept them going. It took everyone playing their role to the best of their ability and being an accountable teammate to achieve their goals. They set that tone. They showed what it takes to be great and they ensured that it would carry on for years to come.”
