Volleyball
The volleyball team will travel to Cowley for district playoffs this weekend. The squad will face Coffeyville Saturday at 3 p.m. who they beat early in the season.
“Coffeyville is an athletic team and plays with energy and excitement.” Head Coach Jennifer Ei, said “We need to play discipline and aggressive against this team to win.”
If the Cavs win they will face either Neosho or Cowley the same day at 5 p.m.
Cavs had Cowley on the ropes in their previous match with the Cavs up 13-10 in the fifth set but were unable to secure the victory and lost 17-15 in the set and 3-2 in the match.
“We could face Cowley in the second match,” Ei. “We need to play smart, consistent and aggressive volleyball to win the match.”
The Cavaliers have yet to have a real signature win on the season and they would love for that win to come this weekend. “This team is capable of anything,” said Ei. “It is a great opportunity for them to compete and win districts.”

The Cavs would rebound to draw the lead to 3-2 in the seventy sixth minute but eventually fell short 4-2. They finished the season with a 7-7-3 record.
