Always shooting for gold, but sometimes you fall short.

Friday night, Sept. 20 the team traveled to Sevierville to play in the Rocky Top Classic. There the team 3-2. Senior Elizabeth Smith said, “We played very well our first few sets and we got into the gold bracket, but we fell short and lost the first game in the tournament play.”

The team tried not to think about the losses during the week going into the tournament. Smith said, “Our mindsets were pretty good, we didn’t let ourselves get down after two losses. We just wanted to make it up by playing well this weekend.”

The Lady Chargers will be back in action Wednesday, Sept. 18 at North Bullitt Highschool, at 7:30 p.m. “This week we are going to continue to practice to prepare for our games Wednesday and Thursday that way we can play our hardest and win both of those games,” said Smith.
