Federal League Tournament Update 3

The 8th grade Purple team played Green today in the 8th grade Federal League Tournament Championship match today!  The girls played a great first game, winning 25-23.  They played another exciting game but ended up losing the second 21-25.  Green and Purple were extremely evenly matched!  The Purple girls struggled against Green's serves in the third and unfortunately lost their "magic", losing this game.  They brought home the 2nd place plaque, which is great for our school!
