Ever since she started playing volleyball with her friends at her local YMCA in elementary school, SCCC sophomore Madison Winkelman was hooked. She has been playing since, and her dedication to the game shows.

“I only spoke Portuguese then,” Souza said, “I still get real nervous when I speak to people. I’m nervous now.”
A determined young woman, she...

Pumping up to Rihanna’s music before a game is a ritual sophomore Courtney Geesing does to prep for a volleyball game. Having recently been named KJCCC player of the week, maybe jamming out to Rihanna is working for her.
Geesing was named the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference player of the week for Sept. 12-18 this year. She commented that acquiring such recognition for her hard work was nice. “Everyone has those things they love to do, and that (volleyball) is my passion,” she said.
Geesing played volleyball for the first time in seventh grade, and has played since. Though she did not initially want to play in high school, she tried out on her freshmen year and made varsity. Since then volleyball became her passion...
