The bottom line | On Monday, Oct. 13, the Wolves’ volleyball team played against the Canoga Park Hunters, losing with a final score of 1-3.

 

Highlights|

  • Middle-blocker Ailana Tsybikova (#24) got an insane single block
  • Outside-hitter Lucea Barte (#22) hit a deadly spike cross-court
  • Defensive specialist Alexxa Munoz (#33) ran hard for an amazing dig that saved the point

 

What’s next | The Wolves are tasked to battle the San Fernando Tigers at an away game on Wednesday, Oct.15. 

 

Team thoughts | “The varsity team played really well, but it was their nervousness that got to them,” freshman Angela Dizon said.

 

Our thoughts | As it was the seniors’ last home game, waves of supporters filled the stands until the game started. An energetic atmosphere from family and students filled the court every time a play was made till the very last second.

Jeremy Manansala, Staff Writer
Jack Manansala, a freshman, is on the staff of The Mirror, the award-winning student newspaper and website at Van Nuys High School in Los Angeles. Some people don’t know this about him, but he loves to play volleyball since he believes jumping high means breaking free from any height. When relaxing or bored, he spends his time listening to music or watching anime, especially romance. During school, outside of journalism, he spends time playing with the school tennis team from morning to late afternoon as he finds it a sport that is both challenging and valuable for college applications. After high school, Manansala looks forward to being accepted to Cal State Long Beach for a business major, aiming to work in real estate and travel to Japan in the meantime. He loves Japan for the culture and beautiful views, hoping to inspire him in more writing and art. In essence, he is a very outgoing but polite person, ready to explore.
