On Tuesday night, the dome was full of spirit and plain ol’ hard work. The Lady Gladiator Varsity led their team to victory against the Malokoff Lady Tigers with finesse and strategic planning. In four sets, the Lady Gladiators showed Malakoff how they planned to run the season. The games scores were Italy 25-Malakoff-21; Malakoff 25-Italy 22; Italy 25-Malakoff 13 and Italy 25-Malakoff 14.

Head Coach Heather Richters said, “I am absolutely thrilled with the way the girls played last night (Tuesday)! They have come such a long way from last year and are truly starting to find their niche. I cant wait to see how our district run unfolds this year. I believe we can definitely make a run and surprise some teams. This season has been characterized by learning life’s lessons. The girls have struggled, overcome, struggled, and then overcome. They have learned the true essence in winning is how they play together as a team.”

The next game is a traveling game against Grandview beginning at 4:30. Heads up, Lady Gladiators!
