TALLAHASSEE, Fl. (WTXL) - The North Florida Christian volleyball team will enter their Regional Semifinal match-up Thursday with a perfect 25-0 mark on the season. They're also fresh off their first District Championship since 2006, but this team wants a whole lot more and they're not going to stop until they get it.
""We have a job that we want to finish," said head coach Jodie Price, whose team still conditions like it's the preseason everyday before practice. "We are excited and we are really proud of what we've done, but we still have some goals ahead of us that we're still focused on, so we're more focused than we are giddy and excited."
Those goals include winning NFC's first volleyball State Championship, and keeping up this good thing they have going.
""The last time they wont Districts, I was seven!" laughed Haley Grant, one of the Eagles' four seniors. "I didn't even know what volleyball was then! We're getting on the banner, and that's a big thing for us."
"We're not thinking of the four ahead, we're thinking of the one game we have Thursday," added fellow senior Lauren Chorey. "That's all we're really focused on at this point."
Focus. It's why they keep sprinting as much as they keep spiking, and it's what they hope will carry them through until the very end.
"Tight competition doesn't get to them," said coach Price. "They're able to finish over a team who may not be able to be focused at that tight situation. We've got that experience and we've got that fire that will allow us to play well no matter what."
"We're just all a bunch of athletes," said Grant. "We know how to get things done, we know how to push. We don't finish early, it's push, push, push, and then we're done."
This group hopes to keep pushing all the way to a State title.
"We've worked so much for this point and I think it's time for us to shine and show everybody what we have and what we've come for," said Chorey.
It's what they worked for, all the way to that final set.
