8 Gold
The 8th grade gold volleyball team won its first set against Tecumseh Monday night but dropped the last two sets by only 2 points. (25-19, 24-26, 25-27).
It was a battle back and forth until the end.
Leading servers were Jenna Ouellette (who served 10 points in a row and 19 points for the night), Charlotte Diesing, and Tori Parisho also served well.
Piper Diesing and Emma Ward both had good plays at the net.
The two teams were evenly matched and all three sets were exciting to watch.
8 Blue
The 8th grade blue volleyball team traveled to Saline split, then lost last set 25-23, 5-25, 21-25.
Maya Valik and Addie McCarthy had great tips and hits at the net. There were struggles last night with playing different line ups and different positions for the team. But it will only make the Bulldogs stronger to be able to play any position according to need.
