ABBY KELLOGG – VOLLEYBALL ATHLETE

Abby will be a key player for the front line in the coming years. When either getting individual points or her teammates scoring big points or making dynamic plays her excitement, cheering and support shows she is in her element playing volleyball. Abby hit personal individual highs in games this season with 8 blocks in one game and 6 kills in another.

WEST BRIDGEWATER VOLLEYBALL: SPOTLIGHT
JASMINE PAULSEN – VOLLEYBALL ATHLETE
West Bridgewater High School Volleyball athlete Jasmine Paulsen is a rising sophomore and impact player on the varsity team. Jasmine had an amazing and killer 2025 regular season. She may be without question the most athletic and outstanding jumper in the entire South Coast Conference. Her lift off on every kill, hit, serve or spike she makes is off the charts and you may wonder does she have a jet button in her shoes because she is so good with the height level she reaches. When she hits the ball, it may be one of harder ones in the conference to witness. Jasmine is another athlete on the Wildcats team who simply loves the sport of volleyball and when not playing during the regular season continues her love and dedication in club and travel volleyball. Jasmine had 6 games with 9 or more kills in a game during the regular 2025 season with an induvial season high 13 in 2 different games. She has also been an effective server with an abundance of aces and on defense making digs.

Jasmine Paulsen also adds a lot of sparks after scoring points on kills with her screams, fist pumps and chest bumps. She also adds to some unique high fives and jazzy dance moves on her own and with teammates in between plays during games on the court with creative celebrations and always cheering her team on in support when not on the court with a smile and keeping the beat with theatrical fun entertainment along with her teammates which also helps to provide a positive morale and spices up the crowd.

AMY DANGOIA – VOLLEYBALL ATHLETE
West Bridgewater High School Volleyball athlete Amy Dangoia is a rising star sophomore and impact player on the varsity team. Amy is a versatile athlete and one of the keys in the success of the backcourt for the Wildcats 2025 team. She forms one of the best backcourt dig duos in the South Coast Conference along with her teammate Keira Cogavin. She has an outstanding level of gravity and flexibility and is a quick mover on her feet in getting digs anywhere and everywhere on the court as well as making many saves. Some of the digs she comes up with from extremely hard hits sent from opponents are mind boggling and are already college level type. Some of her highlights are games with 28 digs, 22 digs on her own and had one game combined with Keira Cogavin for 75 digs and another for 58 digs. Amy also had games of a 100 percent serving percentage this season.

Amy Dangoia also adds extra funk, spunk and some Latin dance flare on her own and with teammates in between plays during games on the court with creative celebrations and always cheering her team on in support when not on the court with a smile and keeping the beat with theatrical entertainment along with her teammates which also helps to provide a positive morale and spices up the crowd.

West Bridgewater High School Volleyball athlete Keira Cogavin is a rising star sophomore and impact player as well as a captain on the varsity team. She forms one of the best backcourt dig duos in the South Coast Conference along with her teammate Amy Dangoia. If there was a person, simply born to be a backcourt volleyball specialist, it would be Keira Cogavin. She eats, sleeps and breathes volleyball during the high school season and all year long afterwards in club level and travel play. She is in her element, and she is really good at what she does. Her leadership has helped to win games this season with both her serving and defense with digs. She is always ready to go in her set stance and takes on an incredible number of hard hits from opponents that she turns into digs and saves whether inbound or out of bounds. Some of her highlight games during the 2025 season have been an individual and season high 49 digs in a single game and also had a combined 75 dig game with teammate Amy Dangoia. Keira is also an effective server and has had games with a 100 percent serving percentage. Keira is one of the key reasons for the success of the 2025 season with her actions and play.
