Congratulations also to our jv volleyball team for terrific and selfless play last weekend.  From Coach Lisa Wettstein:  "This past weekend's JV Volleyball tournament at Lithia Springs certainly had its share of challenges. The team battled through four matches with several teammates struggling with back, rib, foot, and wrist pain. They pulled together to win three out of the four matches, losing only to Whitewater.   I'm so proud of everyone. They showed great leadership talking their teammates through positions they have never played before.  It was amazing."

 

LCS vs Alexander 25-5, 25-23 (win)

LCS vs Lithia Springs 25-16, 25-14 (win)

LCS vs Douglas County 25-14, 25-5 (win)

LCS vs Whitewater 22-25, 10-25 (loss)
