Young spikers learn through competition

Volleyball is trying to
grab more of a foothold in
Camden County thanks to a
program helping introduce
the sport to a young audi
ence.
The Explosive Sports
Junior Volleyball Club or
ganization has 13-and-
under and 15-and-under
teams going this season,
with about two dozen girls
between them. Dundee Dil-
worth coaches the 15-and-
unders and Monica
Gutierrez the 13-and-under
squad, assisted by Jessica
Agnew.
In its fourth year and
third with two teams, the
Explosive association, ac
cording to Dilworth, is a
bridge between the fall high
school season and a summer
camp directed by Camden
County High School head
coach Billy Moore.
Sierra Harvey, on the 15-
under team, has played for
the club for three years and
likes the “energy” of the
sport. Teammate Reika
Curtin, who played with
close friends in Japan, said
she “would like to play for
ever” and maybe be a pro
fessional spiker someday.
The Explosive girls, who
practice four nights a week,
have a schedule of four tour
naments running through
April. The tournaments get
the girls used to the kind of
competition they will face,
and more knowledgeable
about the game.
The girls work hard, are
committed, and are paying

The Wildcats (6-3-1),
who finished with 17 at
tempts on goal, began to
build more opportunities
early in the second half —
with looks from Newton,
Elias Frazier and Joe York
— but couldn’t convert until
Linkous hit from the
penalty spot. The CCHS
defense held firm, the only
blemish Rittmeyer’s precise
delivery.
“We definitely had a lot of
chances,” Gabriel said.
