SURELY SHIRKEY IS READY FOR EVERYTHING
GARRETTSVILLE OH- Volleyball coaches will tell you how important setters are to their programs, even if the stat sheet won’t. Every time you see stats presented after a volleyball match, kills are the first thing everyone sees. They don’t think about the girl who has to set it up. Madeline Shirkey is a senior setter for Garfield, and boy does she ever set up the Lady G-Men offense. She has put in all her time to build her bond and trust with the hitters on the offense. Some of them are fairly new faces, some of them returning veterans. No matter which option, Shirkey does a fantastic job knowing exactly where each hitter needs set to succeed. It’s one of the reasons that Garfield’s offense is so well balanced. The Lady G-Men have four players with 30 or more kills. Shirkey herself is prone to attack totaling in 17 kills so far. As far as assists go, Shirkey has put together 177 already this season.
Shirkey was kind enough to give up some of her time to come on to YSN’s Running Point this week to share a little bit about her career. She talks with Anthony Hartwig and Richie Juliano about her goals this season, what makes her team so close, and much more.
