Lady Cowboys Fall VS Rockland

The North Gem volleyball team did battle with conference foe Rockland last Thursday.  The young Cowboy team has struggled grabbing wins so far this season but have fought hard in every match.  Their opponents came into the match boasting an undefeated record thus far in the season sitting at the top of the Rocky Mountain Conference.  North Gem knew they were in for a battle before the game even started.  Coach Yost commented, “When we go against teams like Rockland, Grace Lutheran or any team for that matter we want to play our best.”  Unfortunately the size and experience from the Bulldog team was too much for the Cowboys to overcome.  North Gem ended up losing this match in three straight sets with scores of 25-10, 25-13, and 25-13.  

Despite the loss, coach Yost was still proud of the girls, “The girls played hard and with grit.  We lost but we also had strong rallies against them.”  The Lady Cowboys are determined to keep working and improving with each game.  Yost went on to say, “Our focus for our team is to finish.  Finish the play.  Finish the game.  And finish the set victorious.”  The Lady Cowboys go on the road this week traveling first to Mackay on Thursday before heading to Taylor’s Crossing for a tri-match against Taylor’s Crossing and American Heritage on Saturday.
