This past Wednesday, I had the privilege of capturing Huntington Middle School’s eighth-grade night for their volleyball team. Having spent considerable time photographing this group throughout the season, I’ve come to understand not only who these athletes are individually, but what defines them as a team. It’s been inspiring to watch them develop, grow, and bond over the past few months.
Since the start of the season, the girls have elevated their game to a remarkable level, showcasing dedication, resilience, and skill in every rally. Each athlete on this team has made a significant impact, contributing to the collective success of the group. It’s clear that they don’t just play the game—they pour their hearts into it.
After the ceremony honoring the eighth graders, the team took on CK Middle School in a thrilling match. Both teams battled it out on the court, but ultimately, both walked away victorious. Despite the added pressure and excitement that comes with such a special evening, the athletes maintained their focus and gave everything they had, making it a night to remember.
Being there to document this journey has been a rewarding experience, and I’m grateful to have witnessed firsthand the dedication and growth of these young athletes. As they move forward, I have no doubt that the future holds even greater success and achievement for each of them.
