This year, the Creekside Girls Volleyball Team dominated the Southern Alameda County Middle Athletic League (SACMAL) volleyball league. While the team lost the Championship 2-0 to Union City's Itliong-Vera Cruz Middle School, Coach Molley Sheridan is very proud of the Wildcats' season. 

“They fought hard for each game, practicing and playing with great communication and resiliency,” says Coach Molly Sheridan. “We won almost every game within two sets, showing how well they can fight to the end.”

The team ended the season with a 9-3 record. Coach Sheridan says the team was unique this season because there were a variety of backgrounds on the team. Some girls play club volleyball, some play for fun, and some have little experience.

“It was wonderful watching each player help out their teammates in different ways,” Coach Sheridan said. “They all played a major role in the success of the team.”

Playing Canyon in the semi-finals was a highlight of the season for the girls, and they were overjoyed to beat their cross-town rivals and move on to the finals. Coach Sheridan said the girls grew a lot this season and enjoyed playing together. Next year, the coach hopes to continue growing the volleyball program and have even more success as a team.
