DMS Cross Country practice for tonight, Thursday August 26, has been cancelled.
The volleyball game against South Adams tonight has been cancelled. Practice will be from 3:30-5:30 at DMS.
Here is an update from last night’s game:
7th grade volleyball kicked off their first match against a tough opponent in Union County. Despite a loss, the girls are implementing a new and challenging offense that will only pay off in the future. The team was led by Captains Auden Hummel and Lyndi Whitenack both with 3 aces, Auden with 2 attacks and Lyndi with an attack and a kill. Wendy Harris added 3 aces, Molly Barker 1 ace, 1 attack, and 1 kill and Lydia Huston 1 ace and 1 kill. A special shout-out to Bianca Carmona for her excellent bookkeeping skills, catching the other team out of rotation earning a point for the Hawks.
The 8th grade volleyball team was narrowly defeated by Union County in their first game 24-25. They came back and won the second game 25-21, and then fell short in the 3 game of the set. Team leaders were Addy Bogue with 5 aces and 3 kills, Trinity Culbertson with 5 aces, Jasmine Rheinhart with 4 aces, Braelyn Moyer with 2 aces and 1 kill, and Maddie Hines with one kill from the back row. Great effort ladies!
Good luck to the 7th and 8th grade Lady Hawks volleyball teams this week!
They have their first game of the season Monday at HOME against Union County, and then they play at HOME again Tuesday night against South Adams.
Games will be played at Driver beginning at 6pm; we would love to have your support in cheering these ladies on! #GoHawks 🏐
