Pictured for the Grizzlies are Izzy Whited (16), Mia Hansen (6) and Sage Hawley (1) as they anticipate the play against Central Valley last week.
The JV team is looking sharp under coach Leonard as they ended the game quickly winning two sets to zero.
The varsity team didn’t let the Hawks have even an inch as they set the tone early.
The Grizzlies won the first set 25-9, followed by the second set 25-13 and finally the third set 25-16.
Next, the Grizzlies traveled to Hughson two days later on Aug. 27, to take the court against the Huskies.
Hughson took the win 3-0 over MCHS.
“We played a great game against Hughson even though we lost,” Earling said.
“There are a lot of things we can learn going forward.”
After the game against Hughson, the Grizzlies held a record of 4-2.
Next up, the varsity squad will head to the Golden Valley tournament over Sept.5-6.
