IN RARE AIR While preparing for his senior season, junior Miller Trubey recently committed to playing Division I volleyball at Loyola Chicago.
I don’t really want to think of myself as being good. When you get to college, nobody cares what you did in high school. I want to keep an open mind that I’m always gonna be the worst one on the court every day until I prove it.
For me in eighth grade volleyball wasn’t really a priority, and so playing with my friends was a great first step. The love that they had for the game kind of took control of me a little bit and I started loving the game too.
Always hold your teammates head high, I think that would be a big lesson. It’s having that dude you can always look to if you need advice like that, and I hopefully will be like that to the freshmen, sophomores and juniors next year.
EASY HIT Trubey jumps up for a easy roll shot over the net during the Lions’ game against their long-time rival Trinity Valley.
I’m no five star recruit like Harrison Ingram was, I don’t know if there’s even star recruiting for volleyball. Just go out there and be the best you can be and make other people the best that they can be. And just always work hard even when nobody’s watching.
