Boys volleyball sets up for the win Lauren Mroz Staff Writer <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Viator</strong> boys volleyball is heading into the 2013 season with confidence that their senior leadership and knowledge of the game will guide them to being one of the top teams in the ESCC. “Our goal every year is to stay competitive “We are in one of the toughest conferences in the state. The past three years, we were only winning one and two matches a year. Last year we got to 4-4, so our goal this year is to get to 6-2 and be a contender for the conference title.” said varsity head coach, Chris Boylan. “In the seven years that I’ve been here, we have our strongest returning group this season. We have seven seniors, so there is a lot of leadership—primarily led by senior setter, Brennan Harrington.” added Boylan. “As a senior captain, I have to lead the team in a positive way,” said Harrington. “Off the court, I will have to make everyone as comfortable as possible with each other so we can play together as a team. On the court, I will have to keep my head up even when we are down or whenever I make a mistake. The worst thing you can do in a volleyball game is to put your head down and give up on the team. Being a leader is not easy, but I am sure I will be able to lead the <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Viator</strong> volleyball team to another successful season.” Harrington said. “I want to lead by example. I will impress my positive attitude onto my teammates and motivate them to push themselves to be the best players they can be.” declared Senior outside Ben Wolf said about his goal for this season. After having dominant roles in both the play and the musical, senior Ryan Lavelle is looking forward to getting his competitive juices flowing again out on the court. “My job is to bring energy to the team. I’ve got to let it translate to the other guys so they get pumped up and we get louder. That helps a lot in volleyball,” said Lavelle. Coach Boylan encourages fans to come out and support the team this season. You can catch up on volleyball news at @<strong>Viator</strong>BVBall. The boys volleyball team practices on the court.
