MELBOURNE, Fla. – The Viera High School volleyball team just finished a remarkable season this year.
The Hawks came up a little short in the quest for the program’s first-ever state title – Viera lost to St. Thomas Aquinas in four sets Thursday night.
It was still a tremendous season for Viera and the seven seniors on the team, including Kasey Morgan and Izzy Starck.
Starck is a setter who moved to Viera from Colorado. She had no issues fitting in with the tight-knit team.

“I’ve only known these girls for about four months,” Starck said. “But at the same time, it doesn’t even feel like I’ve known everyone for four months. As soon as I stepped on the team and as soon as I moved here, it was instant connections and instant chemistry which I think shows on and off the court.”
Morgan is a defensive specialist and a building block to the Hawks’ success over the past few years.
“Most of the girls on the team right now have been playing since 12 or 13 [years old],” Morgan said. “So a lot of them I already have bonds with. Izzy [Starck] I’ve known for about four months, but I feel like I’ve known her for so much longer.”
