Weekly Update #7

• Varsity had a tough night on Tuesday facing some major adversity in a four set loss to Roswell.  However, what a HUGE rebound we witnessed on Thursday with an incredible four set win over previously undefeated in region, West Forsyth!!  It was absolutely fabulous to see these girls pull together, execute the game plan, and roll.  With this win, our varsity sits undefeated going into the last week of region play. 

 

• Our JV team lost a three set heartbreaker to West Forsyth on Thursday.  I’m confident that they will take care of them when it counts on Saturday for the region tournament.

• Our talented JV team competed on Wednesday and came up with a big victory over North Gwinnett in a three set thriller!  Later in the evening they faced a tough St. Pius team.  They fought hard, but came up a bit short.  I’m hoping our girls will get to face them again at some point in the season.  I really believe the result will be different the next time!
