CHS boys volleyball is off to a promising start this season with a record of 7-2.

After a rough loss in their first game against Clarksburg, 0-3, they came back with recent defeats again Kennedy 3-0, Northwest 3-1, Blair 3-1, Paint Branch 3-0, Rockville 3-1, Northwest 3-1, and WJ 3-2.

Unfortunately, the Bulldogs fell to rival Wootton, 0-3, April 19. They faced Whitman April 24, and will face B-CC April 26 and Blair April 29.

“We have a lot of potential,” sophomore Casey Monson said.

With only two freshman on the team, the Bulldogs have a lot of experience and are working toward unity.

According to freshman Wesley Cheung, states are a possibility although tough opponents Wootton and Blair stand in their way.

“We’re pretty decent,” Monson said. “We can realistically look at playoffs.”

Wootton is the team’s biggest threat as they prepare for the upcoming season.

“We have to learn to communicate better,” said freshman Jason Arndt. “I focus on playing well, getting the ball up and going for the net.”

According to Ardnt, the team’s goal this year is to keep a winning record.

“I think we’ll get a lot better,” Cheung said.
