VOLLEYBALL 2025

By Jocelyn Nowak

Although the season started off with a rocky start, the Lady Pirates Volleyball team has been working hard to improve. So far, they have won three games, against Champion, Brookfield and Liberty. They are led by captains Savannah Bailey (Senior), Leila Evans (Junior), and Neena Truex (Junior). Evans leads in kills, overall hitting percentage, blocks, and digs. Truex leads in assists. Bailey leads in serves and receives. Bailey is their only senior this season, however, there are plenty of underclassmen that have hope for the following years. Coach Tarka admires their collaboration, the hard work they put in at practice and is proud of how they play in a high level league. JV coach Sharil Shamblin and freshman coach Erin Jackson, agree with her. Bailey says she is most proud of “the leadership on the team this year”. Elizabeth Dills (Freshman) is looking forward to “new teammates to help out with” next season. Come out and support the volleyball team at their next home game Tuesday September 16th at 5:30.

ABOUT US

The Pirate Post started out as a club in the spring of 2025. This year, it officially became a Journalism and Communications Class, run by students, that is open to anyone! The process to make this an elective, however, was no easy feat. Student Izzy Goodnite (who proposed that we create a school newspaper) wrote a proposal for the school board, and they agreed to make it a class. We aim to inform the student body about things that are new at Southeast: sports, school plays, field trips, and seasonal news. We cover it all! “I feel this newspaper isn’t just about information though, it is also about learning and recognizing people who deserve it,” states Goodnite. If you enjoy writing, Newspaper is the class for you! If you have any article ideas or any questions, you can email our advisor, Julia Dillon: jdillon@sepirates.org or fill out the form at the bottom of our website.
