Volchko ’26, says, “It’s very intense, there’s a lot of big players out there. So it can be pretty intimidating at times.” 

When asked what he’s looking forward to, Volchko replies, “Having that Varsity experience is way better than JV. But it’s still a big kind of jump, the players are bigger, and there’s a lot more people at the game. “

Robles, ’26, explains the slight intimidation being a sophomore on Varsity. He says, “It’s a bit different, you know, playing bigger and better out there.”

Jack Volchko ’26

When asked what he’s looking forward to in the season, Aiden Burr is anxious to continue the season with a strong record. He explains that, “There are a lot more experienced players out there. It is a lot more faster paced on Varisty, but it’s really fun.”

DeRose finishes by saying, “I just want to make myself a better player, and just keep improving for next season.”
