Freedom Christian's young volleyball team on track for 2nd straight playoff run

By Jaclyn Shambaugh Staff writer

The Freedom Christian volleyball team is at it again.

The Patriots are rolling over the competition during regular-season play this year, continuing a trend that's been in effect since before the young program was even eligible to make a postseason.

The Patriots are 20-1 overall this season and 3-1 in the Coastal Plain Independent 2-A/ 1-A Conference.

This season's success has the Patriots on track for their second consecutive playoff run in as many years of NCISAA playoff eligibility.

They ended their 2011 season, in which they weren't eligible for the postseason, at 20-1 and finished out last year 21-1 after a run to the semifinals in the postseason.

Seniors Hannah Joly and Taylar Stafford said the team's success comes from a no-drama mentality.

"We pretty much work together as a family," Stafford said. "We see each other as sisters, best friends. We've never really argued or had a conflict. And if there is something, it's little. We go to the person and figure it out. And we're good."

The seniors agree that any conflict that might crop up stops outside the court boundaries.

"It's never been about the drama," Joly said. "It's always been about the sport."
