With dreams of making it to the state tournament as a senior during her last ride, Buhler’s Breann Ruda has been working all offseason to ensure that.
Ruda is a great player for the Crusaders but also a really good teammate and person everyone else follows.
“Breann is a hard-working, caring, compassionate person,” head coach Deedra Woodbury said. “She is a servant leader and makes everyone feel welcome and a part of the team.”
Ruda, who has been playing volleyball for 10 years, is a four-year letterman setter for the Crusaders, finished her freshman year with 270 assists, 420 as a sophomore, and 571 as a junior, surpassing 1,000 last year and now as a senior, has her sights set on 2,000.
“My personal goals for this season are to surpass 2,000 assists and to enjoy my last season on the Buhler High School team,” Ruda said.
But personal goals aren’t the only thing on Ruda’s mind.
“Our team goal this season is to have a better record than last year and also make it to the state tournament at the end of the season,” Ruda said. “I will have a positive attitude throughout the season and have the goal of having fun so our team can be more successful.”
