The Performance of the Week for the week of Sept. 26 – Oct. 2 was the girls volleyball sweep against the Ponderosa Bruins. The impressive wins boosted varsity to 4-2 in league and kept the JV and freshman teams undefeated at 6-0.

Going into the game, both the Tigers’ and the Bruins’ JV teams were undefeated. Sophomore hitter Makayla Lira thinks that the team came out slow but picked up its play as the match went on.

“We played really slow in the first set and we were really negative,” Lira said. “But we realized the importance of the game and started to play better in the second and third sets.”

The freshman team also beat the Bruins in three sets, maintaining their perfect league record. Freshman defensive specialist Mackenzie Baddley feels that although struggling in the later sets, the girls were able to push through a solid Bruin defense for the win.

“Our energy started to decrease in the second set,” Baddley said. “But we picked it back up in the last set and we were able to come out with a win.”
