From our high school volleyball coaches: Coaches wanted to recognize players who have won their "Juice" award that is voted on weekly by the coaches and players. This award recognizes players who "bring it" to practice and games each time that week. Week 1 winner was Meadow Pier Week 2 winner was Chloe Gandy Also captains were chosen for the team and they are: Varsity: Brooke Goetter and Meadow Pier Junior Varsity: Delilah Akley, Chloe Gandy, Autumn Guyette Coaches were proud of their players and the fans at their home opener last night and they hope more and more people come out to watch these girls get better each week. Go Greyhounds!

Volleyball had their first game of the season last night. JV lost in 2 games to Patoka but showed some very good potential Varsity won in 2 games over Patoka to start their season at 1-0. It was great to see all the positive energy being shown by our coaches and players throughout both contests. Also Mr. Cruthis has to give a shout out to our Hound Pound student section! They came in dressed up and showed positive energy for our team last night. I even had 2 compliments from Patoka parents about how much they enjoyed seeing our student section being a POSITIVE influence on the game and not harassing or being derogatory towards the Patoka players and officials. So great job students! Lets see even more in the Hound Pound on Monday for Soccer and Volleyball games! Soon we will be offering a Hound Pound shirt for purchase, but we do not have a price for them just yet. I will let you know when they will be available and a picture of the design is attached
