Student/athletes will be remembered for effort and character

When last we checked in with the Lady Greyhounds in their hunt for a follow-up championship season in the Redwood division, they had just dispatched the Elsie Allen Wolves with ease, 62-9. But dreams of another undefeated league season evaporated in the next game when they took to the road against Ukiah High, new to the NBL-Redwood league.

The Lady Eagles volleyball squad evened its league record to 4-4 with an electrifying win over visiting Clear Lake in five sets; 25-20, 19-25, 27-29, 25-16, 15-13.
