The Junior Varsity team won their sixth straight Monday evening, defeating their visiting Rock Creek counterparts 25-21 and 25-11.  “Our JV got off to a really rough start in the first match.  We let Rock Creek set the tempo and we were not playing our game.  The second match we got off to a great start with the serving of Amelia McCoy and we were able to play more to our ability.  We are proud of this group of young ladies, commented Coach Nuxoll.  The Junior Varsity team record now stands at 11-4 (5-2 MSC) and will also host Borden Tuesday evening in the CHS Sports Arena.
