Playing a varsity sport at FHC is not an easy thing to do. Our school praises our athletes and works them hard, pushing them to their full potential. The task of being a part of a varsity team is not only physically challenging but mentally as well. As upperclassmen, the majority of varsity players have developed over the years and built themselves up to this point but for some, the transition is easier. As freshman athletes participating in a varsity sport, they show great amounts of discipline and talent.

Hannah Bergman

Volleyball

Setter

Hannah Bergman is the one and only setter on the FHC varsity volleyball team. As a freshman, Hannah brings a level of maturity and skill that is not common. With high-level training at Michigan Volleyball Academy, she has been working as a setter since 6th grade. Hannah plays 6 rotations all the way around the court as the setter and has perfected a wide variety of plays for the team to run. Her poise and confidence on the court disguise the fact that she is only a freshman yet still running the plays for the varsity team.

Sometimes Hannah gets beaten down by the pressure and needs some extra encouragement from teammates and coaches, but then she gets right back into her groove and continues making plays and leading on the court.
