Jump Serve: Girard

Girard YellowJackets
Coach (season, record): Laura Guncheon (3rd season, 7-28)
2010 overall record: 3-13
2010 region record (place): 3-13 (tied for seventh)
2010 playoff results: Did not qualify for the District 10 playoffs.
Top players lost: Missi Angerer, Ally McDonald
Top returning players: Ashley Weber, Leslee DiFucci, Harlie Bolt, McKenzie Fails
Assistant coach: Ben Okey
Outlook: Girard is still in the middle of its rebuilding process but the YellowJackets could improve on its three-win season. Girard lost Missi Angerer and Ally McDonald to graduation but the ‘Jackets can rely on seniors Ashley Weber and Leslee DiFucci. Also back are juniors Harlie Bolt and McKenzie Fails. Girard is looking to continue to build the program from the lower levels and sophomores Julia Hatton and Samantha Dunn could be a big part of the process. Freshmen Dacey Wohlford and Maria Welch will be in the mix for playing time this fall and they could develop into leaders throughout their careers. The ‘Jackets are in a brutal region with tough teams but winning matches won’t be as important as developing the program this season.
