Senior at Fortuna High Explains Her Love For Volleyball

By Jessi Shinn

The 2017 Varsity Volleyball season has just begun. A player on the team, Meelah Milligan, just made the team for her fourth consecutive season. Milligan has been playing volleyball for 6 years and loves the action and competitiveness of the sport.

Milligan continues to benefit from the sport in many ways. Her favorite part of the sport is the excitement she feels for her team on and off the court, “My team makes me happy and I love the laughter that is brought to the court.” She says she has always loved sports and enjoys being active. She decided to try volleyball in the seventh grade and has played ever since. The love for the sport began after her 1st year when she had realized the special bond she created with each individual teammate. She loves being on the court with her team and has become fond of the excitement she feels when her team gets a “kill.”

Milligan says she feels great about her team this year and feels they will do excellent. Last season, Milligan and her team did exceptional, coming home with only a few losses. “Arcata is our biggest competition and we are really hoping to bring home that win,” Milligan stated.
