Greta Klein of Ellsworth was chosen as the Commercial Tire Athlete of Month for September. Klein was a first team all-league selection last season for the Bobcats.

“We had a lot of diversity (last season) and were growing as a young team,” Klein said. “Despite the struggles, one thing always stayed the same, our positivity. Our personal positivity helped us to persevere through all games, good or bad.”

Klein has set some lofty goals for herself this season. While she knows they are going to be tough to attain, she likes having something to strive for.

“My first goal is to get 75 to 80 stuff blocks this season,” Klein said. “My second goal is to get 270 to 280 kills or get four kills a game. These goals that I set for myself might be hard to achieve, but I love a challenge and will always push myself.”

Providing a positive experience for her teammates is one of things that Klein takes pride in as a senior leader.

“One of my strengths is that I bring lots of energy to the team and stay positive throughout the good and rough times,” Klein said. “I think it’s very important to have a positive mindset individually and for the team.”
