Volleyball wins thriller

The Oran Junior High School volleyball team picked up an exciting three set victory over the visiting Charleston Blue Jays last night.  The Eagles dropped the first set, 25-11, but rallied for a 25-23 and 26-24, comeback win.

Coach Erika Hutchcraft said, "Second set we stepped it up and pushed to win by 2 points.  The third set was back and forth and again we pulled out a win!  I am so proud of these girls for pushing themselves and not giving up!"

Kaylee Payne helped lead Oran to victory with 6 aces, 2 kills and a block.  Savannah Elfrink also had 6 aces and added a kill.  Cami Cruz and Bailey Shipley had 3 aces apiece.  Sam Welter had an ace, too.

The team will look to improve to .500 when they host Richland Thursday at 6 pm.
