This week’s OA player of the week is Alison Barth. As a senior on the volleyball team, Alison knows how to lead and encourage the rest of the team. She covers the girl’s back line also known as the libero. The libero’s main goal is to pass the ball and prepare the rest of the team for play.
Alison is very happy with the teams mentality even after losing, captain, Jordan Bosse to an injury. “We have to keep working hard and prepare ourselves for the tournament.” This positive mentality forces the team to try their best and work their hardest, regardless of the setbacks and obstacles that they endure. Alison continues to reinforce this mentality, proving her strong leadership qualities.
With five games left in the regular season, Alison plans to give it her all. She has proven that she will dive for any loose ball and that she will never give up on her team. Hopefully, she can keep the rest of the team on track before the tournament.
