Volume 3, Number 153
Good Morning. It’s Friday, October 14, 2022
Very cool moment during last night’s volleyball match when student manager Ashley Hamblin came into the match on Senior Night and served an ace. A few hours earlier, the girls soccer team played one of its best matches of the season in a win over Newport. The boys soccer team also won and the cross-country girls, despite missing a few of its top runners for a meet at Sisters, took first place. It’s shaping up to be another interesting fall for Warrior athletics.
Thanks for reading!
