Fall sports season at Rolla High School has kicked off this year with volleyball, football, and soccer starting their seasons. For Senior Macy Moreland, this will be her last start to a season as an RHS student athlete. Macy is a Libero, which is a player that specializes in defense and stands in the rearmost line on the court.

“I just started playing [as libero] this year, but for the previous six years, I was a setter. I started playing for a team called Rave when I was in sixth grade. Since then, I’ve played for High Impact and 573,” Moreland said.

Moreland expects the volleyball team to have a good year.

“We are going to be really good and win a lot. We did really well in the Licking Camps this summer, so I have my eyes set on winning districts. [I think we might] even have a shot at state,” Moreland said.

Macy plans to to stay involved in the sport in college, and possibly become a coach later on in life.

“I would like to coach for a club team in Kansas City. I think I want to play in college after high school, but some of the alumni I talked to said they hated it. I don’t want to end my volleyball career hating the sport,” Moreland said.

Although Moreland has high hopes for the volleyball team this year, she believes there’s more to the game than winning.

“To me none of that really matters and whenever you step on the court. You do your best no matter what,” Moreland said.
