“We played really well the third game and took the set,” varsity player Callie Reed said. “The setters were connecting really well and we had a lot of energy.”

The JV team played similarly to the Varsity in the sense that their scores were high for both sets. They lost with a final outcome of 0-2. The first set was 21-25 and the second 22-25.

“The best thing about the game was how hard we worked and communicated,” freshman Amanda larson said. “The most amazing moment is when there was a ball shanked and Mikaela Noe ran and got it back into play Addy Grantham played it over. When it came back Lesley Hall spiked it back and got a kill.”

The Freshman A team lost, but won the first set of their game with an ending score of 1-2. The first set was 25-19, second 21-25 and third 23-25. The B team won their game with a sweep on East View. The final score was 2-0 with the first set being 25-14 and the second 25-19.

“Friday’s game was a little rough,” freshman Bailey Johnson said. “Unfortunately we didn’t get the win, but throughout the matches we still worked together as a team and always had a good attitude on the court.”

The Lady Lions next game will be tomorrow, October 27. The girls will be taking on Vista Ridge away at 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
