Girls junior high volleyball is in full swing and there is no greater game than when cross-town rivals Carrollton Lady Hawks and the St. John’s Lady Redbirds meet up for a match. Last week they met up at St. John’s gym where the seventh grade game went to the Lady Hawks in three sets and the eighth grade game went to St. Johns in three sets. Because of such a large team this year, they were able to have a “C” game for the younger girls prior to these games.
