On Thursday, September 14th, the Junior High Lady Indians came out victorious against the Dighton Hornets. Each A, B, and C-Team kept their games within two sets making it a clean sweep.

The Junior High B-Team pulled out an exciting win keeping each set very close ending in a score of 25-23, 25-21. While starting out slow, the B-Team made a stride in serving and fought hard to come back and win. Their energy made them fun to watch. “I always try to stay loud and make sure that nobody gets down on themselves,” said Saint Francis Seventh Grader Rian Zimbal.

The A-Team battled hard to win close games with the Dighton Hornets. They made their big roll towards the end of the game to make it an exciting game. “We came together and talked loud,” said Saint Francis Eighth Grader Hadleigh Hilt. “We had fun while doing it, and we knew we wanted to come out with a win.”
