The leaves are changing along with outfits as winter approaches fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer leaves crop tops, festivals and baseball behind only to say hello to the height of football season, holiday decorations and heating bills. Along with fall comes the climax of Tartan Pride volleyball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sinclair volleyball squad has battled through adversity all season in the locker room and on the court but has still persevered to a spectacular 24-6 record. But the most grand of obstacles still lie ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every day Sinclair inches towards the Great Lakes District Tournament in Port Huron, Michigan that begins on Nov. 7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s campaign marked coach Kum Chee Gan\u2019s 20th season, and he believes that this year\u2019s team has the chance to be one of the best he\u2019s ever coached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gan, who has been intertwined with the sport of volleyball for about 48 years, has noticed the improvement of his talented team and his heavily recruited star player, Nicole Sicking. He believes his coaching in October has prepared his team for districts and with the talent already there, this group of young women are prone to withstand the ruthless postseason they approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cIf we get into the nationals, I feel like we can compete with the top eight in the country,\u201d Gan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
