The Tigers Spike Back
By: Marley Lambert
The girls varsity volleyball team kicked off their season in Roxana on August 22nd with the 14th Annual Lady Shells Volleyball Invitational. This tournament hosted the teams first five games which all resulted in fighting losses against teams such as Granite City, Auburn, and Roxana itself. Shortly afterwards they faced off against Sparta losing 25-11 in both of their two sets. Two days later the Lady Tigers faced off against Madison not allowing them to win a single set beating them 25-15 in the first and crushing them 25-8 in the second showing a big turning point in their season. Mackenzie Boehne believes this season is going to turn around for them and offered this optimistic quote, “I believe we are leaps and bounds ahead of where we were last year, especially for the girls coming up from junior varsity to varsity. We’re warming up how Mrs. Weier used to coach OUR coach [Coach Brumit].” The Dupo Lady Tigers Volleyball team squares up tonight against New Athens at 5pm. Make sure to come out and show your support for your Lady Tigers.
