The Current State of Dalat’s Boys Varsity Volleyball Team?

By

Juan Moon

The Dalat Boys Varsity volleyball team finished 3rd at the ISKL Invitationals last weekend, a result that left the team with mixed feelings about their performance and future prospects.

The Dalat Boys Varsity volleyball team showed both promise and room for improvement at the ISKL Invitationals held on September 27th and 28th. They competed against the top school, ISKL, and many other promising teams. The team's 3rd place finish was a respectable achievement, but it also highlighted areas needing improvement.

The tournament provided an opportunity for the team to gauge their skills against solid opponents. Unfortunately, the team fell short of their own high expectations, leading to some disappointment among players and coaches alike. “We know we can do better,” remarked one of the players.

This mixed outcome has set a reflective tone for the season ahead, especially with the ACSC tournament approaching. Although 3rd place is respectable, the team remains disappointed at their performance because 1st place was definitely in reach, but inconsistencies riddled them with unnecessary losses of points. While some worry about the inconsistencies, others are hopeful that the lessons learned will translate into stronger future performances.

Coach Trevor Riffey remains optimistic about the team despite the setback. He expressed, “Out of all the years, I believe this year we have the highest chance to win ACSC.” However, he also acknowledges the need for improvement, particularly in maintaining consistent performance throughout matches.

The team’s experience at the ISKL Invitationals is a testament to their hard work and determination, serving as both a motivator and a wake-up call. As they continue to prepare for ACSC, the Dalat Boys Varsity volleyball team is determined to work hard to not disappoint.

While there are still some doubts brewing in the team, the Dalat Boys Varsity volleyball team’s recent experiences have laid a strong foundation for a promising season. With Coach Riffey’s guidance and the team’s commitment to improvement, hopes are optimistic for Dalat’s first volleyball gold medal in ACSC.

DINGBAT DALAT STUDENT SPENDS PRECIOUS TIME CONJURING UP SELF-REFERENTIAL SENIOR SCRIBBLE RATHER THAN GATHERING LEGITIMATE WORK

By Anonymous
Yusoof Monawvil PENANG, MA - As the deadline drew near and the stars aligned in the night sky above the majestic waters of the Strait of Malacca, one particular Dalat student—Yusoof Monawvil (12), despite a plethora of school events to select and report on—opted instead to spend a remarkably well-wasted 24 minutes staring at a blank Google Docs page, fruitlessly drawing up and shooting down brainstormed ideas.  In a moment of sheer and undeniable epiphany, Monawvil deemed it only fitting to self-referentially satirize his own ingrained incompetence and dingbattery. Commenting on the flash of insight, Monawvil quoted himself, saying: “It all just kinda made sense. I went on DISCourse to look at the little rubric thing Ms. Grad and Mr. Hieber posted, and I checked if I was following all of the guidelines... And I technically am/was; [N]ot like there’s any specific direktive [sic] prohibiting self-quoting.”  In a turn of events, Monawvil did come to find his self-quoting en...

"Spikeball, Swimming, and Sickness: The Remnants of Senior Sneak" by Ee Rynn Ong

“Guys, I think we’re here,” said Jonathan Ooi (12) as he peeked out of the lorry to catch the first glimpse of our Senior Sneak location. This year’s Senior Sneak was held in Nomad Adventure, Gopeng, and the organizers planned many activities for the Class of 2026, ranging from traditional games like congkak and batu seremban to adrenaline-pumping ropes courses and whitewater rafting. These scheduled activities proved to be some of the best highlights of the trip, but top of that, the seniors were also given some daily free time to chat, explore, and relax. Josh Stevens (12) had come prepared for this with two spikeball nets, which immediately attracted attention from people eager to spend time in the outdoor sun. The next five days saw spikeball veterans and newcomers alike, spending their precious one and a half hours daily around the unassuming circular net, smashing the yellow ball in hopes of a victory.  Caleb Evans (12) was one of the newbies to spikeball, learning how the g...

“I Miss Her” by Nikhil Pillay

By
While most people had a fun week for mid-semester break, whether it was spent with family, or with friends on impact trips, no one had a more emotionally confusing week than Judson Kenneth Robert Nosker (12).  In the light of recent events, Judson, despite all odds, had gotten in a relationship with one of his classmates, and as the break started, he had started to spend a lot of time with her. While with her, he started to experience a new level of joy and completeness that he had never felt before. In the words of Judson Nosker, “The first half of the break was good, but the rest of it was horrible.”  The reason for such a quote and the roller coaster of emotion was because half way through the break, disaster had struck. Judson’s girlfriend had gone on a trip with her family to Thailand, leaving Judson all alone. For the rest of the week, Judson was in a state of longing for her presence.  His friends have reported numerous occasions when Judson would be sitting with t...
