Q: How do you feel like this volleyball season went for Mitchell?
BOSARD: “I know we didn’t make it to state, but I would still call it a very successful season.”
Q: Did Mitchell exceed its expectations this season?
BOSARD: “I think our community was a little surprised that we won this many games. Also, the kids in our school who weren’t part of the volleyball team were like, ‘Wow, your team is having a really good season.’ They were surprised, too. But for the coaches and the players, we felt like we could have a good season. We worked hard to set ourselves up to have a lot of success.”
