Coach Monica Collier had this to say about the night's action.
The "jv continued their winning streak against New Madrid. They won the first set, lost the second, but came back determined to win the third set and that's exactly what they did. I am also very proud of [the] varsity. They looked like a different team tonight: focused, determined, and scrappy. They are realizing that even with two strong players down that we still have eight strong. They are beginning to believe in themselves and I believe we are going to win the next one. They played with heart tonight and did not quit! Way to go girls!"
The varsity will be in action this weekend as they compete in the Dig for Life Classic in Cape Girardeau.
Oran has two games this evening starting at 4:30 when they take on the Gideon Bulldogs and then at 7:50 they will play the Zalma Bulldogs. Both contests take place in the Show Me Center.

Based upon pool play results they will be placed in one of three tournament brackets.
