“Senior night could not have gone more perfectly”, Head Coach Laura Kinder said. “Our seniors played their hearts out. We were thrilled just to make it to senior night, but to see them play the way they did was very special.

At Graves County last Thursday, following the JV 2-0 win, the varsity squad continued the shutout night with a 3-0 (25-16, 25-14, 25-22) win over the Lady Eagles.

“The JV team is playing tremendously right now”, Coach Kinder said. “They are undefeated, and they just keep getting better. Our varsity team has gotten on a hot streak, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how they are playing. Every player is stepping up.”
