The Junior High Lady Trojans volleyball team has practiced and played hard this season. They started out with only one girl having ever played team volleyball and with each game they have improved. They have practiced with the Junior Varsity Team a few times to learn more about volleyball fundamentals.

On Oct. 3, they played the middle school team from Madison County. They lost the first game 25-21, then won the second game 28-26, they lost the final game 15-10, in this close match. Micalea Mitchell served for seven points. No other stats are kept at this level.

Several of the girls are already working on their overhand serves. Paige Fenneman is already able to do this serve with good success.

The Junior High Lady Trojans also lost their final match against Taylor County on Oct. 12.

These junior high girls only had eight games, so the season was short. If they had played more games, I know that wins would have followed. These girls were still successful regardless of the final scores, in the level of improvement that they achieved.

Members of the Junior High Lady Trojans are: Kianna Bristol, Brooke Burnam, Taylor Combass, Jamee Daniels, Raven Denver, Paige Fenneman, Tanya Gould, Charlotte Hunter, Chelsea Milton, Micaela Mitchell, Jeda Padgett and Kalin Register. They were coached by Mrs. Cason.

I know they have a bright future in volleyball, and I hope to see them all back next year.
