Tonight was a big night for our middle school varsity team. Due to being tied with other teams in our conference, we had to win to place in the top 4. It was high stress and high excitement, to say the least. And for this match to be against Sebring, a big volleyball rival. These girls won the first set 25-23 and continued with a nail-biting 2nd set that ended with a 27-25 win. This match placed us in 2nd place for the conference tournament that begins next week! We are so proud of these girls! 💚🏐
