Coach Tina Elliott made the following comments about the evening. "Once again we had a triangular playing both Atwood (Rawlins Co) and Colby on home court. The A and B played at the same time in different gyms for the Atwood matches, so Coach Kent Kechter stepped in to help us out this week and coached the B team girls first match. We managed to win all of our matches this time and we were very excited at the end of the night. For the B team against Atwood we had 2 sets that were close in points but we held on and came out on top. Then against Colby the B team had a close first set but dominated with a very high percentage in serves in the second set. The A team against Atwood was a lot like the B team against Colby by the scores and serving because we had a close first set and then did very well with serving in the second set for a match win. The A team against Colby we were nervous about because these girls looked intimidating to us but they were never able to get a good set up against us and we were able to find their weak spots and holes on the court making it a very exciting win for us. We hope to have more wins this season by working hard and continuing to improve on our game"
The junior high volleyball team will play on Thursday, September 15th, at 4:30 in Oakley.
