The girls are playing in Peoria today - good luck ladies!

The Eagles flew back to their nest last night! The 7th grade greens volleyball team had an uphill battle losing their first game but they came back and won the second and third! We had some FANTASTIC serving done by LEAH MEDINA coming in with 12 Ace serves, not sure what an ace is, that means the other team was able to get one or less hits on the ball and not send it back! followed by Gwen Grimes with 5 aces, Lilah Ruby 4, Hallie Elmer 3, Remi Rahmus 2, Amelia Shannon 2... Medina had 2 attacks, and the digs were deep! We also found our voices and are cheering each other on! Keep it up GREENS
