With the West Central Valley Volleyball season officially over, the junior members of the team begin to face the reality that they will assume leadership roles for next year’s team as they approach their final season as a Wildcat. Juniors Maren Hoffmann, Talia Williams, Lillian Gilbert, Emma Sand, Macey Long and Meleah Specichinger now must carry the mantel that this year’s senior class has passed on to them.

Gilbert, Long, and Williams had started to embrace some of that responsibility this season, as all three juniors started and played in 24 matches this season. As the off season progresses, the Wildcat juniors then become seniors, and prepare to embrace the role of leaders out on the court for the 2025 season.
