When asked how she felt about Deaver as a coach Ronda said, “He’s fun when we practice, and when it’s time to get tough, he does. Coach Deaver is also all about staying positive.” Amanda on the other hand had this to say about Coach Deaver, “He’s a good coach.

When we asked Ronda her favorite thing, she said very firmly, “how the team is like a family, and it also gets me pumped.” Dagley and Peterson both consider volleyball important to them, so we asked them why. Ronda stated, “Because it’s something I’m good at, and I’ve played it for so long that it has became routine.” Amanda’s answer was a little bit different. She said, “I enjoy playing the game, and I like all of my teammates.” Ronda told us about one of her goals for volleyball as well as some of the team’s goals. Ronda’s goal is to get her sets better. The team’s goals are to win area and make it to state. Amanda had some final input. She adds, “Our teams should be expected to get better over the years because we started a junior varsity team this year so that we can start at a younger age to get upcoming athletes prepared and ready for varsity volleyball.” Riddle Answer -- He was born in the hospital with the room number 1955.
