Shining bright

Making their debut this spring on the volleyball court were the fourth-grade Supernovas volleyball team, a Spring Branch-Memorial Sports Association volleyball team. Their teachers from Rummel Creek Elementary came to cheer them on at a game. The players lit up the court this season with powerful serves and smiles, learning the game along the way. Each one was a force to be reckoned with. From their first practice to their final match, the Supernovas proved that teamwork, determination, and a little fun go a long way. They are excited to return next year as fifth graders. The girls included (pictured, from left) Penny Lamb, Kennedy Swilling, Elin Hiller, Lucero Forero, Wynn Caddell, Avery Koy, Cora Hewitt, Korie Rollo, Kelsey Tan, Claire Smith, Piper Esslinger, and (teachers, from left) Caroline Harger, Kyndall Dupre, Stacy Foster, and Denise Adams.
