UPDATE from Volleyball Head Coach Janelle Noel...
Volleyball is so much more than wins and losses. I’m thankful for a night like tonight! Our girls battled and played hard tonight against a 4A and 5A school. We didn’t get all the wins we wanted but getting to hang out as a team after and watch them laugh, dance, sing, and and bond as a team is why I love doing what I do! We have such a great team and group of girls!
