Sulphur Springs Lady Cats Volleyball 2023
The Sulphur Springs Lady Cats have been a threat every year in district. Finishing third last year, the Lady Cats are looking to improve their 6-4 district record. After losing a big senior class, Head Coach Bailey Dorner, said new seniors Mary Taylor and Kate Monk, “always work hard, are uplifting and positive on and off the court.”. Now having a very young team, first and second year players will have to step up and compete at a higher level.
With their preseason opener coming up next Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. against Mt. Pleasant, the team is looking to take all their prep and turn it into results. The girls have been working hard in the offseason with the help of Becky Medlock (women’s strength and conditioning coach) to be stronger and faster to further improve their game.
The competitive spirit within the team is infectious and previews the pure athleticism of this year’s team. They are fast, agile, and aggressive—the makings of a good and fun team to watch this year as they chase the district title.
This year, the team’s mantra is “ubuntu” a Swahili word that means “togetherness, it means I am strong because we are strong.” said Coach Dorner. With the ubuntu mentality, the girls have bought in and are fully committed to working together to compete and win games this year.
The Lady Cats have a twenty-five-game pre-season with many being at home, including, volleyball powerhouses such as: Rains, Canton, and Edgewood before their district opener Friday, September 22, against Liberty-Eylau at Liberty-Eylau. Volleyball is a fast and exciting sport making it a great way to support the Lady Cats this fall. Let’s have a great year, ladies!
