Raider Volleyballers Want To Defend State Title

Heather Donaho addresses the Raiders during last years VIC Championship game.

Looking to bring home another state volleyball title is a major goal for North Cross School, as the Raiders return a strong core of players this season.

Coming off a third place finish in the Blue Ridge Conference and then winning the state title, the Raiders, who went 23-3 last season, will be counting on returnees Emma Caveness (senior), Lauren Oddo (senior), Catherine Merritt (senior), Kaki Comer (senior), Hilary Cox (junior) and Gussie Revercomb (sophomore).

New faces to the varsity program include juniors Nikki Bates, Alexandra Martin, Julia Sherertz, Sarah Kate Holley, Adrienne Wynd and Shelby Lipes.

“We have a stong core returning,” said coach Heather Donaho, who is starting her fourth year. When asked about the Raiders strengths this fall, the coach replied, “We are strong on defense and serving. Even though we lost our strong outside hitter, we still have solid hitters.”

The team’s weaknesses at this point is a young bench, according to coach Donaho.
