CHARLESTON (Amalyn Aloon)
The Lady Tigers started their season facing off against the Alma Airedales. Junior Jenna Womack hustled and worked hard for every ball. Womack plays the libero position and is a great team player, encouraging her fellow teammates and showing enthusiasm throughout the entire game. The Tigers unfortunately took their first loss of the season tonight. However, they did not go down without a fight. These girls pushed for every point all the way up to the final score of 26-28 in the third set.
The crowd was getting excited as the two teams fought back and forth for that final score. The lady tigers really showed teamwork tonight. To these girls it’s not just about winning, it’s about the dedication and hard work put into the game. In the words of new Assistant Coach Tanner Gilliaum “The girls worked really hard tonight and they showed up. That’s all that I can ask. It was a really good start to the season. I don’t want to be the best one out there in the beginning and that’s where we are right now, a work in progress and there’s more to come.” We are all extremely proud of the Lady Tigers and can’t wait to see what they have in store for us this season!
The Lady Tigers travel to Pottsville today to take on the Lady Apaches from Class 4A. Good luck to the Lady Tigers!
