Congratulations to the Varsity Volleyball team for their tremendous showing at State Volleyball this weekend. After losing two tough matches to Ponderosa and Doherty on Friday, the Warriors showed incredible heart and came back Saturday morning to beat Pine Creek in five sets. This forced a three way tie and a do or die play-off match to get into the semi-finals. They were knocked out by Ponderosa, the eventual State Champs, but demonstrated why they deserved to be at the State Tournament. Congrats on an outstanding season, and a big thank you to the four ladies who sang the National Anthem Friday morning, the cheers, and everyone else who came down to support the team!
