Coming off a three-year run as North Central Conference champions, outsiders may not expect as much from the Humboldt volleyball team in 2017.
But a visit to the Wildcats’ pre-season camp indicates otherwise. Wildcat third-year head coach Justin McDaniel and his squad, feel they have the ingredients to compete for another high finish.
“A lot of people might think we will be down this year after graduating a very good senior class last year,” McDaniel said. “I’m excited about what is coming up through our program. Even though we return just two girls as letterwinners, I feel very optimistic about what we can do.”
Humboldt is coming off a 33-2 season in which the Wildcats went 7-0 in the NCC. The JV went 19-2 and 7-0 last year and the ninth grade were 23-3 and 7-0.
