On Friday, October 2nd, the entire Village School volleyball program will be traveling to watch one of their own, Lauren Fernandez-Miller, play for her new school. Last Spring, Lauren received an athletic scholarship to St. Thomas University to continue playing the sport she loves. Lauren was a student at The Village School her entire life. She has given countless hours back to The Village School by working volleyball camps, and she still shows up to support the program since she has graduated. As a freshman, Lauren is already a key contributor to the St. Thomas University volleyball team. She is top 10 in her conference in multiple statistical categories. St. Thomas University has had a great start to their season, and Lauren’s excellent play has played an important part in her team’s success.

This Friday will be a special moment for Coach Klausmeyer, the coaching staff, and the entire volleyball program. All of our current players have been positively impacted by Lauren. Some have had the pleasure of being her teammate. Some have had the pleasure of watching her play. Some have had the pleasure of being coached by her at camp. This Friday, when St. Thomas University takes on Our Lady of the Lake, the program will have the opportunity to cheer her on, and show our appreciation for who she is as a person, and appreciate her ability on the court.

Game time is set for Friday, October 2nd, at 6:00pm.

Go Lauren!

It is with a very heavy heart that The Varsity Volleyball Team share the news of our friend, Kelly Hults Lopez, who passed away after a very tough fight with neuroendocrine cancer. Always positive, with a contagious laugh and smile for everyone, she loved her family fiercely and fought so hard to be around as long as possible for her two young girls. Please continue to keep her family, and especially her husband Hector and 4 and 2 year old daughters, Olivia and Sophia, in your thoughts and prayers.
On Thursday, September 24th the JV and Varsity girls volleyball teams will be honoring Kelly Hultz Lopez at their home game against St. John Paul 23. Please join us as we celebrate her life and raise funds for those left behind. The first game starts at 4:30pm.

The Varsity girls volleyball team is a couple of days away from their first district game of the year. The Vikings travel to Northland Christian HS on Thursday and are looking to start strong in TAPPS District 5-4A. The Vikings played a competitive non-conference schedule in order to prepare for the challenges that await them in district. The girls tasted success having won the Silver bracket of the Baytown Christian Tournament. They played in one of the state’s premier HS volleyball tournaments when they traveled to the Allen Tournament. That tournament fields a number of Division 1 players from all over the state of Texas. “This is the best way to speed up the growth process of such a young team. The girls have developed so much in such a short time. They know what is ahead of them and they are excited for the opportunity.” This young team is looking to keep building from the experience they have gained and hope that will propel them into district play. Good luck to our Lady Viking volleyball team on Thursday. The team’s first district home game is scheduled for Thursday, September 24th at 5:30pm. Come and support your Lady Vikings! District starts now!

Coach Chandace Tryon is excited about the upcoming 2015 JV Volleyball season. With a mixture of returning players and new additions to the team, the girls have a nice blend of experience and youth on this year’s squad. “One of the most exciting qualities of the team is that we have several players that can play multiple positions,” says Coach Tryon. This quality will make this team fun to watch with a lot of interchangeable parts. The team has been working hard in preparation for their opening contest of the season on August 25th @ Royal High School. Game time is set for 4:00pm. Good luck ladies!
