Varsity Volleyball Dives into Season with Early Wins

The Varsity Volleyball program had a great start to their season recently. They started last week by beating both Pine Tree and Gorman. Then on Friday, August 16th, they played an amazingly tight contest against Gilmer. Going into the deciding set, the scores of the match were: 27-25, 8-25, 25-23, and 23-25. The Lady Cougars were down in the fifth set 4-9 before storming back and winning 16-14. The crowd last Friday was AMAZING! The ladies really want to thank the former students, parents, and other fans who came out to support. BUT, a SPECIAL gratitude to our student section. They really rocked the gym and it was awesome hearing their claps, chants, and cheers. “NO, NO, YES, YES, YESSSSSSSS!”

Keely Bozeman: 25 kills, 34 assists, 27 digs, 4 blocks
