After killing it in their benefit game against Arkadelphia, the SR High Lady Tigers are ready to continue making their court appearances in the upcoming volleyball season. The Lady Tigers are returning four starters this year. Seniors Vanessa Noblitt and Maggie Strunk and juniors Brooke Wright and Danielle Lillie. Although Mansfield was short a few players during their Arkadelphia match, the girls “adapted well and played accordingly,” states Head Coach, Kaylie Pyles. “The team had a lot of energy and played extremely hard.”
“We struggled defensively at times but improved as the game went on. Offensively we are a huge threat to anyone that we face. After playing Arkadelphia, we see some things we need to work on and improve for the upcoming season.”
On August 26, the Lady Tigers will hit the road to Lavaca and face the Lady Golden Arrows. The JR High team will get the evening kicked off starting at 4 p.m. There is always plenty of non-stop action when these two teams step up to the net. “Last year, Lavaca was a strong and talented team. We expect for the game to be extremely competitive and a great start to the season!”
