#TeenLifeStyle: Buford Volleyball – “Another Final Four” – October 26, 2015

Ed.‘s NOTE: Located in Buford, Ga., Buford High School is one of the state’s premier public schools. Stella Alverson, an Honor Roll sophomore, will give us an inside look at her life as she knows it.

This year, the Buford High School varsity volleyball team has reached the Final Four of the state tournament, and I couldn’t be more excited. A two-year varsity player as a sophomore, I feel privileged to be apart of such an amazing program. In both seasons, we have made Final Four appearances.

After a heartbreaking fifth set 15-12 loss in the state finals last year, we went back to the gym, working harder than ever with our head coach Hadli Daniels. This year, we are the only undefeated team remaining in Georgia with a 39-0 record and the Number One seed in the tournament.

Our team is full of college prospects. We already have two Division One commitments–Gabby Curry, a class of 2017 University of Kentucky commit, and Tatum Shipes, a class of 2018 Auburn University commit. The past few years, we have gone from a winning team to a team who expects to be amongst the state’s elite annually. Scoring wise, our most dominant this season being a 25-1 win, followed by two 25-2 sets. I think this is directly related to how motivated we are and how hard we have worked as a team in preparation for this moment. This past Saturday in the Elite Eight, we defeated Walnut Grove in three straight sets, 25-10, 25-12, and 25-9. As a part of the second unit, we went in during the third set and converted the match’s final ten points as we won.

As our semifinals match approaches against Woodward, we are working our hardest ever. We are determined. We are motivated. We are family. We are Buford. I’ll check in after we handle our business.
