Wolves Play with Heart Against Evanston

The Wolves played a tough, high energy, and emotional game against Evanston on Saturday night. The Wolves dedicated the game to Veldon Hix, senior Hannah Hix’s grandfather, who tragically passed away in a car accident on Friday while he was traveling to Jackson to watch the Wolves play.

Green River won the match in four sets, 25-14, 23-25, 25-22, 25-22.

Set 1

Green River started out strong and motivated, winning the first set 25-14. Erica Wilson had two blocks back-to-back to win the set. Wilson, Hix, and Katie Banks had strong performances in the first set, and throughout the match, putting up a lot of points from blocks and kills.

Evanston gained momentum in the second set, winning 25-23. The match remained close for the third and fourth sets.

Set 3

The Wolves and the Red Devils played a back and forth game in the third set, keeping the score close. Green River had the momentum, however, and Hix killed the ball down the line to win the set, 25-22.
