With Kennedy Men’s Volleyball season coming to a successful start, JFK’s varsity and JV players impressed many with their determination and signs of teamwork. With varsity at a current stand of 3-0 in league and 7-2 overall, Varsity coach Jakira Rand believes the team will most definitely make it to playoffs.

“This team has made the playoffs for the past four years,” Rand said. “I do not see any signs of this team slowing down.”

The varsity men’s volleyball team made a significant impact on the growth of this year’s volleyball program by inspiring their fellow peers and setting a leading example of competitive volleyball. Currently the team is ranked 11^th in the Sac-Joaquin Section and the Kennedy Cougars the highest ranked team from the Metro Division.

Considering volleyball is a team sport, Rand finds it hard to identify a standout.
“This program is growing and we are excited for all future accomplishments of this program,” she said proudly.
