The 8th grade team came out growling and took the first game 25-17.  They lost a close 23-25 second game, but battled for the tie-breaker and remained victorious with a 15-10 game to win the 2 out of 3 match – Can I get a woof woof!

Allie Tryon once again led the team with 13 out of 15 serves and 6 of those were BULLET ACES, and she also scored 2 KILLS.  Bre Jenkins also served a great game with 13 out of 14 serves.  Alyssa Craig had a stellar game with 7 out of 10 serves and 2 KILLS.  But the secret weapon of the night was Fatima Guteirrez who served 100% 9 for 9 coming off the bench to secure the win!  Way to be a team player Fatima!!!

Way to go lady dawgs!  You have one more chance to see the team in action next Thursday at home vs. West Blocton at 5.
