The volleyball team won their pool at the Holdrege invite this morning and they will play in the championship match against GICC. The scheduled time was 3pm for the championship match but they are running well ahead of schedule so the game will likely be much earlier. We expect to start as early as 1:30 to 2pm give or take.
What a crowd tonight to support our Whippet volleyball team. Regardless of the outcome, we are beyond thankful for all of the community support.
THANK YOU WHIPPET NATION!!
