Mostly, seeing my mom, dad, and coaches cry made me realize how fortunate I am to have such amazing and caring people in my life,” Turek commented.

It was an emotional start for Kabrea Jamerson walking out with her mother and godfather for senior night.

Coach Samantha Jumbeck gives one of her senior’s, Brianna Syphommarath, a rose at Bri’s final home volleyball game for East. Bri played for varsity under Sam for her third and final year this year. “I’ve known them (the seniors) their whole time here. I was a student here not too long ago, and watched them come in as I was leaving.” To all her seniors Sam says, “After, just strive to be the best person you can be, and I am wholeheartedly proud of how far they’ve come.”

These are posters made for all the senior girls that have pictures of them from throughout the season. The rest of the girls on varsity, that are not seniors, got to choose a girl and then made them this poster and a basket full of goodies.
