North Country Volleyball

Thursday, we traveled to Harlem to take on the Wildcats. Varsity won in 3, JV won in 5 and C squad won in 5. Was a good battle for week two. We are figuring out rotations and where our players skills best fit and give us the strongest lineups. Scores were:

NC 25 - H 9

NC 25 - H 23

NC 25 - H 23

Aces: Team 5, Gracie Wasson 2

I was proud of the way the girls were passing the ball off serve receive this night. We are building it up and getting it to become very steady.

Friday we traveled to Scobey to take on the Spartans. I knew this match would be our best competition so far in the conference. Scobey only lost one senior last year who did a little setting for them. They should be the most put-together team so far this season, which proved to be the case. We lost our match in 4 sets but came away with a lot of knowledge of where to improve our game. We battled hard and had very close sets that could have gone either direction.
