 From only winning two games a couple of seasons ago to now having a chance at the conference title, the Brainerd volleyball team has sure turned things around. Sports reporter Anthony Scott has the story on what changed in Brainerd. Two years ago, the Brainerd volleyball team only had two victories. Now with only a month left in the season, they're 12 and four. So what has changed? Well, for starters, the coach. Try to change the mentality. They all have good athletic ability. They didn't necessarily have the volleyball skills that we're looking for. Athletically, they were every bit as good as 19 in the city. And they have proved their athletic ability as they only have one loss in the conference this year. Our defense has been a lot better this year than past years. Our serve receive has gone up a ton. And we're still just working on consistency with our hits. Brainerd's one loss in conference was to Wilmer, but the Warriors will have a chance to knock off the undefeated Cardinals on Tuesday. Our first time we played them, we just played super timidly and we just need to play more aggressive. We're really looking forward to Wilmer as we do every year. And what we're really looking forward to is that our defense has come along so much since our first Wilmer game. So we're excited to show them that we have improved. And the student body at Brainerd has also taken notice of the team's turnaround and have shown immense support for this year's squad. There used to never be that many fans that came, but I think once we started getting our winning season, then it's like kind of amped us up a little bit more for our games and stuff. And so I think it's helped us feel energized on the court. For my three years on bursty, I've never seen a fan section like that. I was talking to our athlete director Charlie Campbell last night and he said that it's been a long time since the gyms have this much excitement in on a Tuesday or Thursday night. And they have great reason to be excited as Brainerd is exceeding expectations and have many young players that can carry their success into next season.
