Deerfield Beach High\u2019s boys\u2019 volleyball team has high expectations for the 2023 season. After losing to Stoneman Douglas High in the District Semifinals last season, they are back this year ready to bring it all home<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe Bucks are preparing for the highly anticipated season with practice six days a week. The team is making every second useful to make sure they get the most out of their season.<\/p>\n
\u201cA normal practice consists of warming up and getting into drills that will help increase our skills for the season, and we finish off with a scrimmage to help practice an in-game experience,\u201d senior outside hitter and captain Nolan Debrocq said.<\/p>\n
Last year was the first full season that DBHS had since the 2018-2019 season because of the pandemic. Now, the Bucks have built a relationship with nine returning players and eight newcomers onto the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel pretty confident that we are going to do good as long as we stay focused and put our all into improving as a team,\u201d junior outside hitter Nicola Zagarolo said. \u201cI also think everyone improving over the past year opened a lot of higher level plays we can run that\u2019ll help us too.\u201d<\/p>\n
There will be a huge leap from the last season. There were a lot of new players resulting in needing more time than average for training. But now the team understands what needs to be done to be competitive with the high-level teams. Trusting each other on the court is the recipe for success<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cReliance,\u201d junior middle blocker Donovan Campbell said. \u201cEveryone on the court can be trusted and this year we can run plays effectively and efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n This year, the boys\u2019 volleyball team has 20 games on the regular season schedule<\/a>, compared to last year\u2019s 12. With every returning player working on their game in the off-season, the Bucks are destined to improve.<\/p>\n \u201cThis team will shock every school we play against,\u201d DeBrocq said. \u201cNobody has us on their radar. They see Deerfield on the schedule and think we\u2019re another easy win for them. We\u2019re going out there to prove everyone wrong and show them what we\u2019re really about.\u201d<\/p>\n The Bucks are set to seek revenge on schools such as Coral Springs, Pompano Beach<\/a>, and Monarch<\/a> High. Their first game of the season is on March 7th at Coral Springs High against Coral Spring High<\/a>\u2019s boys\u2019 volleyball team. The Bucks volleyball team has been practicing and is ready to give the Colts their first loss of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n
