Living up to their reputation

Taking on two rated War Eagle Conference volleyball teams was the challenge for the Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn volleyball team last week, and those teams lived up to their reputations with straight-set victories.

H-M-S faced Unity Christian [Class 3A No. 7] at Orange City on Sept. 27, losing in straight sets by scores of 13-25, 11-25 and 8-25. The Hawks stayed close early in the first two sets but could not match the Knights' strength. Unity Christian broke out to a quick lead in the final set and the final outcome was never in doubt.

The Knights had a 31-11 advantage in kills and 13 ace serves.
