Volleyball Recap

Ally Newkirk

BGA volleyball had a tremendous season coached by Tatiana Alvarez and Charlie Carlisle. With the new impact of Covid-19 affecting all sports programs, the volleyball team managed to create an undefeated regular season and picked up 1st place in the District Tournament along the way. Both Gillian Baisden and Izzy Northam were selected as All-District First Team, Ally Newkirk as All-District Second Team, and Christine Jewell as District 3 MVP. Gillian and Jessie Meghreblian were also selected to be on the District 3 All-Tournament team, and Kearstyn Seay was chosen as District 3 Tournament MVP. 

One of the biggest accomplishments of the year involved the team taking the regional title. After twelve years of no showing in the regional championships, the girls broke the barrier through hard work and dedication to the sport. Christine Jewell and Ally Newkirk were both selected as Middle Region All-Tournament, and Baisden won Middle Region Tournament MVP.

Along with the twelve year span from the last time BGA volleyball had seen the court of the regional championships, this was also the year to regain BGA’s spot in the state tournament. Although the team’s season concluded after the first day of tournament play, they all contributed to a memorable season in BGA volleyball history. The girls and coaches earned their team titles through resilience, and cannot wait to see the court in the near future.
