Cy Ranch's Bello Sisters Make History on the Volleyball Court
In a season marked by perseverance and teamwork, the Cy Ranch High School volleyball team has made history by reaching the state semifinal round for the first time in school history. The Mustangs' journey to this milestone is largely attributed to the chemistry between senior setter Zora Bello and sophomore outside hitter Sade Bello.
Zora, who has signed with Rice University, embodies the perfect blend of leadership and sportsmanship. Her approach to the game is centered around having fun, as emphasized by head coach Dr. Collea McKinney. The coach attributes the team's success to their ability to "play better when they're having fun." This mantra resonates through the entire team, with Zora stating, "It doesn't get any better than just playing with your blood."
Sade, on the other hand, brings a high level of energy and enthusiasm to the court. Her partnership with her sister is undeniable, as she affectionately describes their relationship as "just like family." The two sisters complement each other perfectly, with Zora providing the perfect pass for Sade's spikes. In an interview, Sade revealed, "She makes me look good," further highlighting the depth of their bond.
As the Mustangs prepare to face off against No. 1 team in the nation, Byron Nelson, on Saturday afternoon, the stakes are high. However, with a winning record and a deep-seated trust between Zora and Sade, the team is well-equipped to handle the challenge.
Despite the odds being stacked against them, the Bello sisters remain confident in their abilities. They have come so far from past seasons where they were eliminated by The Woodlands in the second round. As Zora aptly put it, "We know people doubted us, but we knew we could lean on each other and just come all the way."
Their ultimate goal is to be crowned state champions, a feat that has never been achieved by Cy Ranch High School before. With their unique bond, unwavering dedication, and unrelenting passion for the game, this duo is sure to leave an indelible mark on the world of volleyball.
The stage is set, and the Bello sisters are ready to take on the nation. Will they be able to overcome the odds and lead their team to victory? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain โ this dynamic duo is something special.
