It is with great pride that we recognize Kate and Molly Shafer for their outstanding achievement in being selected to participate in the prestigious Iowa Girls Coaches Association (IGCA) Senior All-Star Volleyball Classic. This event, held in Johnston on November 16, featured 33 of the top senior volleyball players from across Iowa, chosen from a pool of over 2,000 athletes. Kate and Molly represented Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont with exceptional skill, sportsmanship, and pride. Their reflections on this experience are below. They express gratitude to the coaches, teammates, and supporters who have been integral to their success.
It was a great honor to compete in one last showcase at the IGCA Senior All-Star Volleyball Classic that took place in Johnston on November 16. There were a total of 33 players out of 2,000 seniors across Iowa that were selected and divided into 4 teams. The IGCA (Iowa Girls Coaches Association) held a banquet to honor all the seniors selected to play, hall of fame inductees, coaches, parents, and officials. For the first time ever, we were on different teams. It truly was an amazing opportunity to meet some of the people we have competed against, and also to see some familiar faces from club volleyball. After a 2 hour practice, we each played a match with and against some amazing volleyball players.We have so many people, teammates and coaches to thank for getting us to this level and we were proud to represent EBF at the Senior All-Star Volleyball Classic!
