Volleyball 10-8 Arlington

Again using the NWMS gym as home court, this time due to parent conferences, the Wildcat volleyball team took on the Arlington Eagles Thursday evening.

The last time the Wildcats played at NWMS, against Cascade, it was a 5-game marathon, and this one was no different.

As they have done many times this year, the Wildcats played extremely well in game one, especially early. They stumbled a bit but held on to win 25-23.

Game two went to Arlington 25-21, and game 3 was all Arlington as the Eagles beat the Wildcats 25-18.

With their backs against the wall, the girls went back to work, dominating Arlington in game 4 by a score of 25-12.

Game 5 was close, but some nice play by the girls culminated in a 15-13 game 5 score and a 3-2 league win.

The JV team was able to win only 1 of their 3 games.

Over at OHMS, the Freshman team was playing some exciting volleyball. Although they didn't play badly in game one, some mental errors and breaks that went Arlington's way led to a lopsided score. Game 2 was closer, and the girls almost won game 3, 23-25.
