Girls Volleyball

The 2008 Judge Memorial girls volleyball ended their season with varsity

taking 8th place in State, and 2nd place in the Regional tournament. The girls

loved the season, and had a blast getting to know new people and playing

the sport they love! "Every team has the potential to be great if they fully

commit, and have the desire to be great." - Teran Horner.


Tryouts for the 2009 season are the first week in August. To prepare, there

will be three different Spring clinics to freshen up on your skills. "Do the

clinics, come prepared, and stay in shape!" is the advice given be Teran

Horner, coach of the JV and Varsity volleyball teams. "Think of volleyball as a

year round sport, and keep in shape always." Being on the freshman team

this 2008 season, I would have to agree. Tryouts can be brutal, so keeping in

shape will help you tremendously if you decide to try out. (Which i would

recommend, it was SO fun!)

JV Volleyball

The lady bulldogs season for volleyball has ended with a title of 8th in state at a 3A tournament. Coach Taryn Horner was a great coach and gave much hard effort into teaching the girls.

Freshman Alex Clark, who played on the Junior Varsity team, said, "It was a great season, I loved working with all the girls, they always gave 110%." Summer camps are help at the beginning of the summer for the younger girls interested in playing when they arrive at high school. IVA is also a way to improve and progress in the game of volleyball.

Sophomore Volleyball

This year's Sophomore girl's volleyball team is off to a great start. These lady bulldogs not only know how to serve it up, and they can spike it hard. Many of the players have a lot of experience and under the direction of Coach Lizinski, these girls will refine and redefine their game. With one game under their belts, they are on their way to win.

Coach Amanda Lizinski has been coaching this exact team for two years, and she has played the sport since high school.

"The have improved a lot since last year," says Lizinski, "I can tell they really love the sport." She also says, "This season, will be lots of fun, but two main thing we need to work on is our intensity and confidence."

During off season the team does lots of other sports, some do swimming, basketball, track, and even more volleyball. Team Capitan, Kristy Smith says, "Our team has a real positive attitude, but we need to work on our skills and passing. This season I think will be good, but we need to work hard."

Unfortunately, no wins so far, but they are working hard for this Thursday's game at Juan Diego at 4:30. Their last game in North Sanpete, Utah, was close, score to . But this week, they are ready to win! In case you were wondering, tryouts were the week before school started, and practices are from 3:00 pm to 5:00pm at the Judge gym.

Judge JV Girl's Volleyball: In Action

The Judge Memorial Girl's JV Volleyball team has already kicked off the season with 0-2 record. With coach Tayrn Horner and assistant coach Bree, practices are Monday through Friday from five to seven and games throughout the week. Freshman Alex Clark, who made the JV volleyball team, had some great advice when describing volleyball and how to condition during the off season. "Playing volleyball is a great way to train for the real season; every time you touch a volleyball you get better physically and mentally. Club is a really great way to improve your skills and meet new people, different workouts work for different people you just have to find what is right for you."

When asked, "what are some things your team has done you are proud?", Alex said, " Just beginning to work as a team. We still have to learn each others strengths and weaknesses on the court but we definitely have improved our team moral by getting to know each other. We always try to work hard on the court and even when we mess up we know that the rest of team will be there to help pick up the slack. It is really great to feel like you can help one another to achieve something!"

With such positive attitudes and great sportsmanship on and off the court, this year's volleyball team will gain much more than just wins.

Mallory McGill and Lehua Kali had beautiful sets. The team took advantage of those assists in all games, but especially in the second game, when our team had six kills total. Coach Gilmore could not make it to this game so Coach Horner stepped in. Dani Wagner was also out with a sprained leg, but will be playing again soon.
