Vick gazes into a bright future.

Sports and friendship go together, hand-in-hand, for Raven Vick.

“I enjoy being able to play with other people that feel the same way about the sport as I do,” she said.

One half of a pair of talented twins, Raven and sister Willow will head to Coupeville High School this fall for their freshman year.

When they do, Raven will enter with well thought-out goals, both for sports and the real world.

“My goals for my freshman year are to keep a 3.5 or higher GPA,” Vick said. “And possibly go to state with our teams.

“My goals for later in life would be playing volleyball on varsity and playing in college,” she added. “I would also like to open a business with my sister.”

Vick plans to play volleyball and run track as a Wolf, and her top sport comes first in the year.

“Volleyball is my favorite because I get to play with a team and make new friends,” she said. “I also love everything about the sport, diving, jump serving, etc.”

When she’s not spiking volleyballs or hurling the javelin, Vick can often be found snapping photos (“I love taking pictures of the trees and the sky”), listening to music or sailing.

She’s discovered a yen for Korean K-Pop music (“shout-out to Luci Coleburn for getting me hooked during our band festival”) and enjoys her yearbook and math classes.

A whiz kid in the classroom, she’s two years ahead of most of her fellow freshmen in math and will be taking Algebra 2 College Prep.

Whether she’s breaking down theorems or droppin’ aces on the court, Vick gets a substantial amount of support from her family, something for which she’s grateful.

“I think my parents have made a huge impact on me,” she said “They are always pushing me and supporting me in anything that I decide to do.

“And my sister is always there for me, whether she’s playing on the same court or cheering me on in the stands.”
