Timber Creek Girls’ Varsity Volleyball Embraces a New Era
By Zavia Salas
After losing 11 seniors from last year’s squad, the Timber Creek girls’ varsity volleyball team is navigating a season of change. Led by senior captains Sydney Davis and Lauren Davidson, the Wolves are focused on building a new identity and seizing the opportunity to create something special. While it’s a different team than last year, they’ve shown resilience, determination, and a drive to grow together as a unit.
“This year, we’re focused on finding our rhythm and making every practice count,” said Davis, a standout middle blocker committed to the University of South Carolina. “It’s not just about filling spots but creating a team that fights for every point,” Davis continued. The team has been working hard on refining their skills and figuring out how to best use everyone’s strengths. Practices have been intense, with an emphasis on communication and team chemistry that has helped the group bond on and off the court.
The team’s progress is clear in their matches, where they’ve pushed through tough situations and kept battling. With a lot of new faces and evolving roles, the Wolves have embraced the challenges that come with a young team. Davidson, known for her versatility and leadership, sees this season as a chance to redefine Timber Creek volleyball. “We’ve had ups and downs, but that’s part of the journey,” Davidson said. “The most important thing is that we’re learning and getting better each game.”
The Wolves have taken each match as a learning opportunity, with several younger players stepping up in big moments. The team has focused on building a competitive spirit, and their growth has been obvious, even in tough losses. The energy on the court is different, it’s more focused, and determined, and it’s clear that this group isn’t afraid to work hard and push each other to be better.
“It’s been great to see how everyone’s stepped up,” Davis added. “We’ve worked hard to create an environment where everyone supports each other, and that’s made a big difference.” The team’s bond extends beyond the court, with team meals, bonding activities, and a culture that emphasizes being there for each other. This sense of unity has been a driving force behind the Wolves’ effort and determination this season.
As the season heads into its final stretch, Timber Creek is focused on finishing strong and gearing up for the postseason. With key games still ahead, the Wolves are determined to keep pushing, improving, and making the most of their opportunities. They’re ready to fight for every point and show that, despite all the changes, Timber Creek volleyball is still a force to be reckoned with.
