Virginia City volleyball defeats Silver Stage

The Virginia City Middle School seventh grade volleyball team defeated the Silver Stage team on Wednesday, 25-17, 22-25 and 15-10. Heather Redman from Virginia City helped lift her team to victory with five aces, and no missed serves.

The Virginia City eighth grade team defeated Silver Stage, 26-24, 25-14. The first game was closely contested, as both teams exhibited early season nerves, but Silver Stage was unable to withstand Virginia City's momentum in the second game.

"We haven't had many practices, but the girls are finally beginning to gel. If we can just get our serves over, we'll be fine," said Virginia City coach Patti Poston.
