        “The Lady Wildcats took on the Altona Rattlers on the volleyball court on Wednesday 9/6. It was a tough match!  Please congratulate any of the 24 girls you see this week because they showed perseverance, and determination, and worked very hard in all four games – some scores were tied and even ahead at different times. We unfortunately lost, but we are SO proud of how hard the teams worked and how positive they were toward each other!!  These wildcats did not give up! Next Monday, we will take on the Mead Bulldogs here in our gym. GO WILDCATS!”
