“We had a good showing today,” says coach Danielle Smith. “We had to deal with some injuries today and shuffled around positions because we didn’t have Chesney Tanksley to set for two games due to injury, and Sophia Rueda wasn’t able to hit because of her tendinitis in her wrist. Overall the team played pretty well today, Each girl really had to have each other’s back today, so I’m really proud of their effort.”
With the solid showing, the JV team is now 13-5 on the season and play Monday at home against Murphy (NC).
