GREEN RIVER— The Green River High School Wolves volleyball team was quite successful last week, having won two conference games back to back on Thursday and Friday, September 28 and 29.
The Wolves beat the Evanston Red Devils in a tough match on Thursday, September 28, and they dominated Friday, September 29, beating the Jackson Hole Broncs in three games.
However, they came up short against the number 2 ranked Laramie Lady Plainsmen on Saturday, September 30.
Upset Over Evanston
The Wolves got the upset over the fourth ranked Evanston Red Devils in Evanston Thursday, September 28.
They won in five games. They lost the first game 21-25, won the second 26-24, lost the third 16-25, and won the fourth and fifth 25-18 and 15-12.
“It’s always great to beat Evanston, especially on their home court,” head volleyball coach Rikki Shantz said.
“We battled as a team, really well,” Shantz said. However, “we made a lot of unforced errors. Missed serves and hitting errors made the game closer than it needed to be.”
The Wolves will take on Evanston at home on October 21.
Domination Over Jackson
For the Wolves volleyball team’s Homecoming Game, they played the Jackson Hole Broncs, in which they easily won in three games.
The Wolves won the first game 25-21. This was the closest the Wolves let the Broncs get to winning.
They won the second game 25-7.
