Coach's Corner: Onward to Region

Region play begins tomorrow with a tough opener against Morgan.  The Varisty played consistently well last night in our game against Wasatch.  Great team work and goal-oriented play is ocurring, which will continue to bring success.

Coming together is a beginning.

Keeping together is progress.

       Working together is success.  -Henry Ford

To point out some leadership playing during the pre-season matches, I want to recognize Turner as leader of the team with highest kill average, getting about 12 a game.  Christensen closely follows with averaging 10.  Those kills couldn't occur without Conrads assists and the team's passing and ball control.  Matthews, Davis, and Cloward play a big role in that.  Hale has the high serving percentage.  Great job Grantsville gals!  Keep our goals in sight, onward as we fight :).  GO COWBOYS!!

Dixie Fly High Tourney Outcome

The Grantsville Volleyball team represented well at the tournament on Aug. 17-19, ranking quite a bit higher than we have for the past few years.  After a successful couple of wins the first night of pool play, we were placed in the Gold Division.  We fought hard through a tough morning of pool play, and then started the afternoon single elimination tournament in the silver bracket.  There were 6 teams placed in each bracket from Gold to Copper.  In the end we ranked roughly 10th out of 24 teams in the tournament.  Good first group of competitions Cowboys!
