As the Chandler Wolves prepare for the 2024-2025 boys volleyball season, their roster is packed with talent, height, and experience. With the balance of up-and-coming juniors and veteran seniors, the team is looking forward to making deeper run this year than before.
The Wolves can rely on their senior class to set the stage for success. Setter Carter DiMickle leads the team in distributing the ball effectively, while Mark Batista, Eli Rother, and Brennan Dales bring to the court strong skills across multiple positions, bringing versatility and skills to the squad. Middle blocker Zakk Bolton provides a strong presence at the net, ensuring a solid defense and quick attacks.
Chandler also boasts a powerful front row headed by juniors Jacob Mayer, Ethan Dye, and Spencer Shuey, whose size and athleticism make them formidable offensive forces. With outside hitters Micah Knipmeyer, Zach Barnett, and Judah Knipmeyer, the Wolves can bring a well-balanced attack from the left and right sides of the net.
On defense, libero Anthony Quinta and defensive specialists Alex Gora and Brennan Dales will use their abilities to read the game and make critical digs that will be essential in keeping the plays alive. “I’m excited to see how far this team can go against the best schools in the state,” Alex Gora told us in a recent interview.
This team has a well-rounded dynamic that features height, power, and skill, putting Chandler in a prime position to compete at the highest level. Head Coach Bobby Robson is optimistic for this team’s chances: “This is a great group of kids we have this year. If we show up every day, put our best foot forward, and work on our consistency, we have very good chances of going all the way this year. While we do have high hopes for this team, we also understand that sometimes life throws stuff at us. It’s just out of our control, but [it’s] nothing that the team can’t handle.”
As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on Chandler to see if they can turn this abundance of talent into a championship run. With their stacked lineup and determined mindset, the Wolves are ready to take on any challenges that come their way.
