Volleyball eliminated at Regionals

The Lady Wolves had their last tournament this past weekend against Kelly Walsh and Rock Springs. On Friday, October 28, the Lady Wolves took on Kelly Walsh.

The first two matches they fell a little behind, but ended the third match with a close score of 29-27. The girls obviously ended with a great fight and determination, which is amazing. The close match gave the girls some more confidence, especially because they were playing the best team in the state.

The game against the Rock Springs Tigers, on October 29, was no doubt a fight to the end. The Lady Wolves took the game to four intense matches, showing they had great teamwork and intensity. Even though the game didn't end as planned, the girls always look at these outcomes as opportunities to grow and compete in the next game even better.

"We had several younger girls get some valuable experience over the regional tournament, which was a great leading into next year," explained Coach Jessica Demaret.

This year for the Lady Wolves was definitely a re-building year.

"I believe the program overall had a good year. Our younger teams have been successful and for our varsity team to win some matches was a right step in the right direction for GRHS Volleyball moving forward," said Demaret.

The girls have done a really great job competing all season and they continuously kept putting themselves in positions to learn and grow and to also win some games. Not every game went in their direction but they never gave up. The team is confident that going into next year they will be better at finishing matches with a win.
