Junior high volleyball is off to an amazing start for the 8th grade with the Maroon Fillys beating Crystal City in two sets at 25-13 and 25-10. “This is such a talented group of girls. They love this game and it shows on the court. Sometimes it is difficult to play games that don’t necessarily challenge you at your level and I believe this was the case. Though Crystal City played a hard match, this group is working hard to get ready for those games you really have to fight for. I’m proud of their effort and look forward to our next game.” Coach Shana Beaty
