The Scorpions Volleyball Club held their first Coaches vs the 17/18U teams game at Preston High School gym.
The beginning of the night was a bit of a challenge as the school board double booked Preston High School with a basketball tournament. That was no problem for the Scorpions and their fans as they set up additional seating in the other gym for a packed night of volleyball. It was exciting volleyball by all teams and the audience was enthusiastic, clapping and cheering at the many fantastic plays. Thanks to all for making this such a successful night of volleyball.
