The 7th grade volleyball team took home two victories Thursday night in our season opener!

Team 2 performed well and stayed focused through both games, taking set one 25 - 7 and set two 25 - 15.
Team 1 didn't waste any time either and took set one 25 - 9 and then completed the sweep with a 25 - 11 victory.

The girls will travel to Watauga Middle School next Wednesday to take on the Warriors, looking to continue their win streak. Great job, ladies!
