Ray is from Syracuse, New York, but moved to Seattle
when she was three
years old. “Everything in Seattle is fine except the rain,” says Ray.
Ray is currently a sophomore at Shoreline Community College.
After she completes her two years at Shoreline, Ray plans to attend a four-year university and major in architecture and/or interior
design.
“I like Shoreline much more than high school,” says Ray. “It’s more relaxed
and not as much stuff to deal with.” Teachers and classes at this school
make it easy for a student to learn.”
At 6`1, she plays middle blocker or right side hitter depending on what Coach Raquel West plans for the game.
She has known Coach West for five years. “Her style of coaching is good
because she understands what we’re going though, no matter what happens,
and teaches us why we play volleyball
the way we do and to love the sport,” says Ray. “She also shows us what we’re doing wrong and how to fix it, and she’s just a outgoing and loving peson. I love having her as a coach.”
She has a bond with her team as they look forward
to winning as much as
they can. “The team is good and each player is good at their position,” says Ray.
“Volleyball is about chemistry and how we gel as a team. This team has a lot of potential, but will need to bond some more.”
