“I think overall it was a really good season,” Simon stated.

Another Junior, Ellie Carlson, stepped up and took over the job of libero as junior. You can see who the Libero is wearing a different colored jersey. 

A libero is a special defensive player that is only allowed to play back row players. The libero can also quickly make exchanges with back row players during dead ball situations.

When asked about how the season went, Carlson stated, “It was disappointing, but I had a really fun time with the girls. And we became closer, and we became really good friends, and I’m really excited for next year.”

Carlson also enjoyed being the libero for this season.

“Being libero is a huge role…I enjoy it because it’s my favorite for position and I’m really grateful that I was able to play it this year,” Carlson stated.

Both juniors have big expectations for next year. They believe they will be able to place at state and hopefully be able to win state.
