For most volleyball athletes a bad play is when you miss the ball completely, for Johanna Muller a bad day is when you never see the ball at all. As Captain of the girl’s Varsity volleyball team, Muller is used to pushing through tough moments. A rare condition, which causes her to blackout, hasn’t stopped her from serving up intense competition for the Eagle team.

“Johanna is a great captain, she has all of the girls respect and they all look to her when they need advice or help on and off the court” says Coach Landmeier.

This tenacity is typical of TC’s Volleyball team. Last year the volleyball team made it to playoffs, and this year’s team beat Waterford with a score of 3-0, as well as Delhi with a score of 3-0, and remained undefeated until losing 1-3 to Mariposa. But according to team member, Rebekah Muller, losses only serve to make the team more determined.

“It was a hard blow to everyone, I think, because we all know we could have won. But that just makes us want to beat them next time even more. So we are very much looking forward to that,” says Rebekah.

Something else contributing to the team’s positive attitude says Rebekah Muller, is the cohesive relationship between the girls. “The chemistry between all the girls is great, on and off the court. Having a team (007) and coaches that are like family is such a blessing for everyone.”

So will they make playoffs? Rebekah suggests that answer is dependent on a couple of things. “I think we definitely have the potential to make playoffs, but it all depends on everyone’s drive and determination, and God’s will.”

I’d say that’s the right approach.
