Every contribution counts

HSMSE Volleyball

The volleyball game on March 21st was thrilling for the High School for Math, Science, and Engineering Dragons fans. After Bronx Science "B" team scored seven consecutive points to start the game, the HSMSE volleyball team came through and got a win in the first set. The crowd then went crazy and that gave momentum to the HSMSE team. The team would then win the next two sets. Although senior Kevin Chun would've probably won the MVP of the game if there was one, his teammates played great as well. Sophomore Spencer Sharp, playing opposite hitter, helped to contribute to his team's victory. Even though Sharp only contributed with a few good set passes with one error in the first set, he managed to do the be that he could. He stayed sharp on court and he didn't let that one error bring him down for the rest of the game.

When interviewed after the game, Sharp said, "I was worried that the team would break down because of the amount of pressure, but I thought they weren't a better team than we are." According to Sharp, the HSMSE volleyball team trains every weekday. It shows that practice helps them improve their game but also improve their determination. Sharp might not have shown his maximum potential in the game, but he still brought motivation to the team. During the time-outs, Sharp listens carefully to Coach Nicholas Diunte, showing that he is a good athlete that is willing to learn from his mistakes.
