The Wilson Creek Devils, a volleyball team, are preparing for another season with a focus on unity and teamwork. Head Coach Shawn Shahan expresses his excitement for the players to come together and work as one, embodying their team motto: "One team, one goal."

This year, the team will be returning seniors Cheyanne Dailey, Debi Horn, Lila Sackmann, and Riley Larsen, who are expected to act as strong leaders for the team. The seniors are looking forward to their final year on the team and are eager to play together before their final season. Coach Shahan emphasizes the importance of patience, active communication, and mental toughness as the team works towards success.

The smaller school setting has helped foster team bonding, as many of the players have grown up together in classes and share a strong friendship. The Devils' first game of the season is scheduled for September 8 against Moses Lake Christian Academy.
