Angela Elguezabal: athlete of the week
Thou shalt not kill! However in volleyball this is a valuable asset on the court. Leading the varsity volleyball team at OHS Angela Elguezabal (9), a middle hitter, has had 127 kill this season.
Elguezabal, along with three other freshmen girls, made a name for herself in the OHS varsity volleyball program. Many freshmen do not get the opportunity as to play and start varsity as a freshman Elguezabal is making a rather impressive name for herself. Including her 127 kills she also has accomplished 291 attempted attacks a total of 50 point so far this season. and 30 blocks, in 14 games. Teammate Abbi Walters (12) says, “ She is a intelligent player who is good not only at hitting but serving also, she is a consistent hitter you can depend on.”
Her coach Kristina Kanallakan said, “ As a freshman we are looking forward to watching Angela grow and develop into a stand out player for Oakville volleyball.”
Being a freshman on varsity can be intimidating, but her older teammates also have much faith in her and her playing abilities.
Teammate Kaleigh Moore (12) says, “She is a smart player on the court and if you give her the ball she will put it down.”
Since Angela is a younger player on varsity she has, and most likely will have more, experience playing against older girls will definitely make her a better player in the future. Many look forward to watching her grow as a player over the next three years. Elguezabal and the rest of the teams has 2 games left, which are both home games, make sure to go support and cheer this freshman on!

Angela,
I am so so proud of you. It’s hard to believe that you are a freshman. I remember back in third grade, I asked all of you what you wanted to get out of CYC volleyball. Everyone said they wanted to learn how to play and make it on their High School teams. Look at you!! Varsity Oakville High School volleyball team. Keep reaching, but remember your foundation (God, family, and education).
