down but it’s really just heating up.
They still have big games against West
Noble and Bethany. The team recently
lost to West Noble and are looking for
revenge. “West Noble is a big game because it’s for the conference championship. Bethany is going to be a big game
because it will be a good challenge and
test us as a team,” said Hunter.
With the veteran team the Warriors have assembled, they have the
potential to head deep into the post
season. This feeling resides within the
Warrior team as well. Hunter says he
thinks the team can at least make it
to regionals, if not further. Hopefully
they can play up to their expectations.
“We have a chance to do some pretty
great things,” said Brandenberger. “We
just have to stick together and play
hard.”
The Westview girls team is also
having a terrific season. The girls
have a winning record only losing
two games. They have also had games
ending in a tie against Plymouth and
Goshen high schools.
Junior Brooke Schwartz is very
positive so far about the season and
thinks the team is just getting better.
“I think we’re working more as a team
and less as individuals. Also our foot
skills and defensive skills have shown a
little improvement I think.”
The improvement of the team
shows how dedicated the Lady Warriors are. If an experienced team is
working towards getting better, they
have the power to dominate. The team
working together also shows that they
are dedicated to their coach. John
Jantzi has done a great job this season
getting the girls to where they are.
The season is wrapping up but the
girls too, also have big games ahead.
The games that Schwartz is looking forward to are against Argos and
Culver Academy. “They’ll both be really
tough,” she said. However, she expects
that the Warriors can win the games.
She has confidence is her teammates as
well. Schwartz points towards Skyler
Carpenter to help the offense score the
points. “Michele Mowery and Jeslyn
Zimmerly really control the midfield
which is key,” said Schwartz.
The girls team is playing their best
at the right moment. This should translate into a successful end of the season.
Westview Volleyball
The Westview Volleyball program
has made several strides towards turning their program around. The teams
record is hovering right around .500
and it could be even better if not for
all the close losses. “Most of the games
we lost, we should have and could have
won. We would win a game and then
lost the rest somehow,” said Kelsey
Carmack. Carmack is a junior and is
one of the vital leaders of the team.

little things we do that lead up to big
mistakes. She really emphasizes and
tells us over and over so that we get it
in our mind so we can start to fix it,”
said Carmack.
The team is also no stranger to
fighting for the victory until the very
end. This is exemplified by the teams
match against Wawasee high school.
The squad was down to five games and
they were down six to twelve. Then the
team came from behind and won the
game seventeen to fifteen. Carmack
said the comeback was fueled by their
intensity and some “amazing plays.”
The team is also very talented this
season. Carmack highlights Candice
Chupp and Sabrina Whitaker. Although she didn’t want to make any
teammate feel less important. “Candice
Chupp’s passes are at her target pretty
much every time and her serves have
really improved this past year too. She
has definitely stepped up and become
a vocal leader. You can always hear her
talking on the court. Sabrina’s had a lot
of solo blocks and her hitting is really
good too.”
The volleyball team is only continuing to get better and a lot of it
seems to be credited to Brohm. The
Westview program for volleyball will
only grow and get better.
