The 2024 season marked one of rebuilding and renewed energy in the first full year since Jackson Central–Merry closed in 2016 and reopened in 2021. Though wins didn’t come, the team’s participation signaled a revived program gaining valuable match experience. As JCM continues to strengthen its athletic identity post-reopening, volleyball can emerge as a symbol of perseverance and community revival. With returning sophomores and juniors, offseason training can emphasize fundamentals, court chemistry, and physical conditioning in preparation for an exciting 2025 season.
JCM Cougars volleyball is back—and though the journey has just begun, fans can look forward to watching this program evolve, compete, and eventually roar on the court.
Here’s to the future of JCM volleyball—may 2025 bring growth, momentum, and the first set victories in nearly a decade!
