Talent, teamwork, and unwavering determination were the secret sauce behind the remarkable 2021 season of Westminster High School volleyball team. The team’s season underwent a thorough dissection as we spoke to Coach Cashmere Veniegas about the key contributors, season defining moments and team’s resiliency.

Key Contributors and Season Highlights:
Each time the Westminster team sparred on the court, there was an army of stellar players driving the game home. Kevin Duong, the All-League MVP, was unstoppable at the net, boasting the highest side-out percentage. Ethan Au, another all-around player, brought a unique mix of quick defense and versatility, while Benjamin Nguyen's skills ruled the net. Chris Ngo stood out with the most aces on the team, and his ability to dig any ball. Noah Barajas and Jimmy Nguyen were dominant forces at the net.

Their synergy led to a remarkable undefeated run (12-0) as league champions with an overall record of 22-6. However, their journey wasn't without tests of mettle.

Defining Moments and Overcoming Challenges:
One such defining moment came when Noah Barajas suffered a season-ending injury in the second round against Katella. This reshaped the team's dynamic on the court, demanding a tighter back row defense and necessitating strategy changes. Despite these hurdles, the Westminster team held its ground, recording an undefeated season driven by determination and resilience.

A combination of leadership, energy, and performance from the graduating seniors was a key ingredient to the season's success. Their determination to make amends for the past season was inspiring and their liveliness kept the training sessions hyped, a trait that was infectious.

Player Growth and Looking Ahead:
Players such as Jimmy Nguyen, Jacob Truong, and Jaden Tan notably grew into bigger roles throughout the season. The Westminster team isn't simply looking at its laurels from this triumphant season; it's equally excited and focused on the future. There's a shared hunger among returning players to clinch another league championship and advance beyond the first round of CIF. The focus during the off-season will be dedicated to preparing the newcomers for the varsity team, ensuring they're ready to fill in some big shoes.

Conclusion:
The Westminster High School Volleyball's season is a testament to the power of teamwork, resilience, and dedication. The journey may have been dotted with obstacles, but the Lions' unbowed spirit was clearly evident through their successful performances.
