Support Squad Showdown 2026 is in the books!
Did our Support Squads have a little help? Maybe.
Were there a few strategically timed Re-Do cards? Absolutely. A serve or two purchased back at just the right moment? Probably. Did we occasionally blindfold a Sullivan volleyball player to improve the Support Squad’s chances? We did what we had to do. 😂
But when it was all said and done, our Support Squads got it done — and honestly, there were some pretty impressive volleyball skills hiding in that group!
More importantly, we had a LOT of fun.
A huge thank you to all of the parents, grandparents, siblings, family and friends who were willing to step onto the court and be part of the fun, and to everyone who came out to cheer, purchase Mulligan cards, grab concessions and support Sullivan Volleyball.
Our girls have a pretty great Support Squad behind them, both on and off the court — and we couldn’t do what we do without them.
Now somebody please check on the grown-ups tomorrow morning. We suspect the girls will recover significantly faster. 🏐

Serve for Sullivan was a HUGE success!
It was awesome to see Sullivan High School students, freshmen through seniors, having fun, competing, learning some new skills and supporting each other. Volleyball and football teamed up for our Serve-A-Thon, and once the serving games started, the competitive side definitely came out!
We also loved seeing all of our fall athletes and activities recognized at Preview Night. That’s what makes nights like this so much fun — different teams, different activities, but One Sullivan.
And congratulations to our Serve for Sullivan award winners!
Highest Serving Efficiency: Emme Jiannoni & Kane Hinnerichs — an incredible 100% of their serves IN!
Ultimate Redskin Award: Piper Conlin & Drew Toner — for bringing the school spirit all night!
Most Pledges Raised: Miela Wilson & Cash Naylor
Most Entertaining Pair: Avery Renfro & Teagan McRill — because apparently serving efficiency wasn’t the only thing being judged tonight.
And a HUGE thank you to Coach Bertetto for being such a great sport and jumping right into all of our crazy!
Great job to all 27 of our volleyball/football partnerships for making the first Serve for Sullivan such a fun night!
Thank you to everyone who came out, pledged, and continues to support our Redskin students and athletes!
One school. All Redskins.
