2017 outlook: “We are returning a great group of players from last year’s starting line-up, and have a very competitive group of newcomers. The team is really working hard to get to where they want to be and are looking to improve every game out so we are playing our best volleyball at the end of the season.” - Coach Emily Vaughn

​Our take: The Falcons will be on tournament watch this year. They were consistently one of the tougher teams last year and return a large core from that team. The trio of Amber Miller, Hannah Ollendick and Sierra Rystrom are record-breakers and as talented of a group as any in the area.  The district could just be EV’s for the taking.
