Crean Lutheran boys volleyball players showed ‘faith and class’
I know, my God, that You test the heart and are pleased with integrity. 1 Chronicles 29:17
Crean Lutheran’s boys volleyball team was making progress when the season came to an early end. “2020 boys volleyball has been a true blessing,” said Coach Glenn Henry. “I was called back to Crean Lutheran and thankful to our group of guys who had been pushing hard to get back to a championship mindset with faith and class.”
Among the highlights was the Saints victory over Sunny Hills. Henry said his message to his players would be “look forward to the future and continue to trust in God. We have relied on him in all that we do and will continue to live in faith over fear.”
Henry also talked about the seniors:
Kaden Kring: “Kaden has competed at the highest level in high school and club and has displayed the most complete set of skills over his four years.”
Christopher Nomura: “Topher is a huge spiritual leader for us. He continues to lead players with his dedication and all in attitude in all that he does.”
Christian Hahm: “Hahm has been our offensive key over the years. His physical presence and ability to see the floor has helped us succeed this season against some big teams.”
Christian Griffin: “C. Griff has been a huge piece for us over the years. He thinks critically and respects everyone he comes in contact with.”
David Cooke: “His physicality and willingness to learn really helped him excel quickly. David always brought a great energy to our team in practice and games with his ability to lead vocally with maturity and superb demeanor. “
Sam Bray: “Sam was a true talent for us. If he continues to play, he has the ability to excel at the next level, and beyond that with his volley IQ and focus.”
Colin Christie: “Colin has a career in coaching if he is willing. He has been the most sound in understanding film and sees all of the things the coaches see.”
Jaret Yucknat: “Jaret has been a go-to guy for us. He can be trusted in any moment to start or come off the bench and get his job done.”
Wyatt Matthews: “I admire his perseverance and ability to keep moving forward. He stands tall, rises and embodies the expression; ‘fall seven times, stand up eight.’”
