The 7th grade white volleyball team lost a hard fought battle against Saline with the scores of 20-25, 25-15, and 23-25.  The team was led by Kaylin S with her super setting.  Abby O did a great job passing and Courtney W did a nice job serving.  Come cheer on the team when they face Saline again on our home court on October 23.
