Bump set spike

First cousins Mary Clare Huffman and Kingsley Redd (pictured, from left) have been able to play on the same volleyball team together at St. Michael Catholic School for two years now. They both made the varsity level team for the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Serves and spikes are these girls’ specialty. Their coaches are Edward Bredehoft and Dave Muzyka, who have developed their skills and helped grow their love of the sport. Not only are Mary Clare and Kingsley close on the court, but they live a couple of blocks away from each other. Riding bikes to each other’s homes and bumping balls is a favorite activity for this volleyball-loving duo. Both girls have made upper-level club teams at Houston Stars Volleyball and are eager to start this November.
