Looking to overcome a two year roadblock of losing in the substate championship, senior Dalania Schutte is ready to finally make it to a state championship.
Schutte has had a busy offseason in preparation for the season.
“This offseason I’ve been working on watching the block so I’m able to dump and able to give my hitters the best set to make them successful,” Schutte said
Schutte, who is a three-sport athlete, has a lot to juggle.
“I played club for Shockwave Volleyball Academy and we traveled December-May. On the outside of volleyball, in the offseason I participated in basketball and track and had two successful seasons,” Schutte said.
With all the work this senior has been putting in, she has high expectations for herself.
“My personal goal for this season is to be first team all-league and make all-state,” Schutte said.
As a junior, Schutte had a 97.8 percentage average on serves with 45 aces. She also had 581 assists, which is one of the reasons she noted that she will be setting all six rotations this year. She played outside the past three years.
Schutte also has high expectations for her team as well.
“My goal for the team is to make it to state this year. It’s been a long time coming, but we have it in us this year,” Schutte said. “We lost two huge seniors last year, but the team worked hard in the offseason and we are ready to be back.”
