Another week of pass, set, attack for the River Hawks! The JV squad traveled to Calamus Wheatland on Monday for a triangular match up including Lisbon. The River Hawks came out a bit slow but soon showed a great competitive spirit! A tough 2nd game loss to Lisbon left us defeated 10-21 and 18-21. We then fell just a bit short in games of 15-21 and 16 -21 with the Calamus Wheatland Warriors. Even though the scores did not come out how we had hoped, we are seeing progress in movement, communication and overall determination! We need to continue to become more confident in ourselves in each skill!

Thursday we made a long road trip to Starmont to take on the Stars. The FS team put up a good fight to win in games of 15-10 and 16-14! The JV fell just short in games of 12-21, 21-11 and 13-15. It was a sweep night for the Varsity team as we defeated the Stars in games of 25-19, 25-17 and 25-20! All of the girls are progressing each week in skills and making smart situational choices! We continue to work on our mental game and keeping momentum on our side! I am very proud of the work these girls are putting in…. it is showing on the court! Thanks for all the support…we hope to hear you at the next match!
