Lady Phoenix beats Cass for PSL

By Nnenna Nnaji The Stentor

The Lady Phoenix volleyball team topped Cass Tech to win the PSL championship.

The Phoenix prepared for the game with a locker room “turn-up,” and they wouldn’t turn-up again until the game was over. They walked into the game determined and ready to play.

“Coming in the game we were very serious,” senior captain Chrissy Collins said. “Throughout the game, we stayed mentally tough. We didn’t get down on ourselves when there was a mistake. We kept Cass on their toes. One major reason we won was because of God.”

Renaissance has not won a volleyball championship since 2010.

“It feels good to be champions, and to know we knocked Cass down and ended their five year record,” sophomore Soléi Thomas said. “It builds our confidence, but it’s just another game for us. We are going to move on and get ready for states and regionals.”

Many Renaissance students and staff came out to support the team, and cheered for them whole game.

“It was a very great game,” junior Talia Gray said. “We did a good job and everyone came out to support and cheered them on all the way. When we won we all ran on the court to cheer and celebrate with them. We are very proud of our girls.”
