 Number one in the country is what every athletic program strives to be and it's what the Central Lakes College volleyball team has achieved. Sports reporter Anthony Scott tells us why the Raiders are not getting caught up in the hype just yet. When you look up at the wall at Central Lakes College you see three volleyball national championships. Head coach Jane Peterson has her Raiders ranked number one in the country again but she doesn't care about the team's ranking at the start of October. If it was the end of the season and we were number one then that would be something that would be really meaningful to me. Central Lakes College was 17 and one entering tonight and it's not just because of one player. Offensively we spread the ball out we don't always rely on the same person so I think defending us is hard because people don't know where the ball's going. In fact two freshmen Maggie Fellerman and Sydney Berg lead the team in kills and at the junior college level it's essential for freshmen to step up. At first they were a little shy of course you know that's typical but they definitely approve that they this is their team as well and a lot of them have stepped up and been great leaders. It's been four weeks since the Raiders were announced as the top team in the nation but they are not getting caught up in the hype. Today we just focus on who we're playing against which that is Northland and to play our best just focus on this game and only this game at the moment. We definitely need to remember that we're trying to get better every day and that's our main focus of practice is we're not just there to maintain we're trying to get better. But at the end of the day a national championship is the ultimate goal. That would be amazing it would be like leaving our legend here. They have the potential to have what it takes do they have it right now no so we will be working towards that. But for now they can enjoy that number one ranking as they make a push towards the national tournament in November reporting from Brainerd Anthony Scott Lakeland News. Taking it one game at a time and tonight they took home a 3-0 sweep against Northland so great to see a team in our local area making it on the national stage. A lot of tradition with that team. Definitely we'll see where they go. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
