All teams like to win. The Thompson Valley High School girls volleyball team hates to lose.
Seriously, ask ahead coach Lester Thorne. What his team managed to achieve in the third and ultimately deciding set in the Class 4A girls final Saturday night at the Denver Coliseum attests to that.
“They are so battle-worn and have been through a lot of games like tonight,” Thorne said. “The winning is always great, but they hate to lose more than they ever like winning. That keeps us focused when we were down and mostly what I tell them when they are in those situations is, ‘Stay calm, get back to playing our game and go one point at a time.'”
“With our team, we’ve all known one another since we were little and we’ve been so close,” Rollins said. “I think everyone got a little nervous and played a little frantic, but everyone in their head knew we would pull through eventually. Because we always do, no matter what.”Led by seniors Sasha Cohen, Erin McNair, Valor Christian’s dominant volleyball season rooted in playing for each other
