Varsity Volleyball
The Lady Vikings Volleyball team went 1-2-3 at the Lady Gamecock Sumter Spike Off Tournament over the weekend. Pool play was not as strong as we had liked with 1 Loss to St. James and 3 Ties versus North Central, West Florence and Camden High School. The girls came out strong in tournament play, however, beating Orangeburg Wilkinson in 3 sets; 21-25, 25-22, 15-7. The Vikings lost a tough battle versus Camden High School in 3 sets in the 2nd round of the tournament; 25-17, 21-25, 11-15.
The Lady Vikings walked out of the tournament with their heads high considering our personal VICTORY against O.W., who we lost to in a scrimmage earlier in the season. Not only that, we were the ONLY team to beat Camden High School, TWICE (2 separate sets), throughout the entire tournament. Camden went on to win the tournament! Be sure to congratulate your Lady Vikings Volleyball team if you see them, they did an outstanding job this weekend! Go Vikings!
Special shout out to Junior Karolyn Martin for being selected All-Tournament player with 80 Assists and 14 Aces throughout the day!
