On September 7, 2023 the Lady Pirates Junior High volleyball team traveled the long road to Crystal City. A special thank you and shout out to Armando Esquibel for providing us with an air-conditioned bus; once again, we found ourselves in another gym without air conditioning. Crystal City was very apologetic, they, like many, were dealing with hot temperatures and ACs were working overtime.  ​​

​The Ladies were tired after the long drive, and it affected how we played. All teams started flat, the temperature did not help, and they had a play defense early.

The sets were as follows:

• 7th Grade B-Team won in straights with Autumn Foster as a high server with 14 straight service points. 
• 8th Grade B-Team lost in straight sets, but these ladies fought hard and had no substitutions. 
• 7th Grade A-Team won in split sets, exemplary defense player Emma Fernandez, who is finding herself a power net player. 
• 8th Grade A-Team lost in straight sets, but Mia Rollins moved up to A-Team this week and  had some great serves along with Faciola Jimenez who is making a name for herself and moved up to play on A-Team. 

These ladies worked hard and will finally play at home next Monday! Please come out and enjoy watching them and cheer them on as we play Hondo.  

​Again, thank you to all the parents and family who traveled the long ride to Crystal City and who sit in these hot gyms to support these teams.
