Celebrating Two Harbors Volleyball Seniors

Senior night is a highlight of every sea­son. With bright, tal­ented student-athletes like those I have the privilege to report on, I’m always eager to hear about the plans these seniors have for their future.

Recently, the Two Harbors Volleyball team held their senior night during a match against the Interna­tional Falls Broncos. The Agates secured a sweeping victory, tak­ing the game in three sets with scores of 25- 9, 25-22, and 25-23. This win brought their impressive season re­cord to 14-2.

Rachel Bopp, one of the team’s three seniors, dominat­ed the court with 16 kills. Fellow senior Addison Bentler add­ed a powerful ace to the scoreboard. Ju­nior Brooklyn Nelson played a pivotal role with 16 assists, while her classmate Delaney Nelson tallied 21 digs. Sophomore Alicia Hurd also contributed significantly on de­fense, recording 22 digs for the evening.

It was a fitting night to honor the senior trio of Bopp, Bentler, and Lauren Pinnell. Bopp plans to continue her volleyball career at the University of Min­nesota Morris while pursuing a degree in finance. Reflecting on her time with the program, she shared in the senior night fly­er, “My favorite part about the TTHS pro­gram is how far we’ve come—not only in success but in gaining life qualities like resil­ience, determination, and accountability.”

Bentler is looking toward a career in the medical field, aspiring to become a radio­logic technologist or medical sonographer. She remarked, “My favorite part of being in this program is the friendships I’ve made and the positive im­pact it has had on my life.”

Pinnell, headed to the University of Min­nesota Duluth to study biology with the goal of becoming a physi­cian assistant, echoed her teammates’ senti­ments: “My favorite part of being in the THHS Volleyball pro­gram is all the mem­ories with my team­mates! I love that we start laughing at ran­dom moments and just have fun as a team.”

Best of luck to Ra­chel, Addison, and Lauren in your future endeavors! Congrat­ulations to the Agates Volleyball team on their outstanding sea­son so far!
