Thursday vs. Valwood
The Knights took on their biggest challenge of the season against the reigning State Champions, Valwood. The Knights came in ready and beat Valwood in the first set 25-22. The Knights fought long and hard in the next three sets but ultimately lost 16-25, 11-25, and 16-25. The girls played an amazing match, and we look to grow from our mistakes and hope to play them again in the State Tournament. The team was led by Ryann Hankey with eight kills, Lily Najawicz with six kills, and Ashley Prokop with four blocks.
We have our Senior Night honoring Ali Brown-Winans, Anna Counts, Ryann Hankey, and Tiana Jackson on Thursday. Hope to see everyone there!
