8th Grade:

8th C team-
Last night the Lady Cougars had a great night of volleyball! 8th grade C played three intense 3 sets and came out with the “W”!! Brennan Ford had a great night with 12 serves and brought a strong offensive game with 12 hitting attempts to help secure the win. She definitely earned Player of the game this week. Alexa Boudreaux ran a 5-1 for the first time and didn’t miss a beat. She had 13 serves and made smart plays at crucial moments. Rachel Howe stepped in to play libero and killed it! She made the best of each play and was an asset to the team.

8th B team-
While the B team match between the Cougars and the Broncos did not go in North’s favor, there were some high points between the 2 sets. Shoutout to Varsha Pazhayidathu for her 9 serves between the 2 sets and successfully stepping into a new role on B team. Player of the game goes to Eraina Wilkins, who had 4 kills, aggressive serves and net play. Eraina is such a hard worker and it showed in her performance last night.

8th Grade A-
The 8th grade A team had multiple roster changes walking into Thursday’s matches. The pressure to perform was stacked against them, but they came out swinging and sealed the win in 2 quick sets (25-16, 25-15). The Cougars remain undefeated in district play with a 3-0 record. Faith Law started off set 1 serving 8 straight points for the Cougars; a lead that the Broncos never recovered from. Emma Hurst played aggressive defense at the net and served consistently from the endline in both sets. Back row play was essential in the A team’s success and alternating between 2 liberos, Morgan Proctor and Narmin Azim, demonstrates the depth on the roster for defensive coverage. All players are awarded player of the game for keeping their energy high, celebrating each rally and pulling together to solidify the win.
