Spike in Women’s Volleyball

Oct 25, 2023

The women’s volleyball team starts off their season with a groundbreaking win streak of 4 in a row. The team recently broke a school record set almost three years ago.

The Varsity team set off the season on a good note with their win against Scotland High School . They ended their game off strong with a score of 25-18.

The intrigue: The Varsity team, led by new coach Emma Gray, started their 2023-24 season with a record breaking score.

This will be Gray’s fifth year coaching but her first year with our Varsity team. She took over after our previous coach

How they got there: The girls practiced some pre-season team building exercises. They’ve been able to develop closer relationships through things like team sleepovers which has established a trusting family-like bond for the players both on and off the court.

About the Contributor

Grace Kitchen, Staff Writer

Grace Kitchen is a 16-year-old sophomore originating from Ohio who moved to the Ocean Isle area in 2021. Kitchen spends most of her time listening to music on her record player and playing basketball. “I grew up with basketball,” said Kitchen. “It's just always been around me. It probably helped that my sister also played it, so that motivated me as well.” Growing up with seven other siblings, Kitchen had no shortage of playmates growing up, inspiring her passion and competitive spirit on the court. One challenge Kitchen faces on the court is the inability to wear her hearing aid while playing. Kitchen grew up needing a hearing aid, and the help of her audiologist influenced Kitchen to want to do the same, to help others in the same way that she was helped by them. “I’ve gone to different audiologists throughout all of my life,” said Kitchen. “I looked up to them because they did what I thought no one could ever do.” Kitchen was recommended the class by a counselor and joined the West Wind looking for another opportunity to write after finishing her creative writing class in freshman year. Kitchen's enjoyment of writing will push her to new heights in the West Wind journalism class. “I’m looking forward to getting out of my shell with this class and exploring the more social aspects of high school,” said Kitchen.
