Harrison volleyball wins at home​

The Harrison gym was packed for the conference volleyball match against the Ennis Mustangs. A Harrison victory brewed in five rounds. The first two rounds were close, with Harrison out scoring Ennis by six and three points. The Mustangs came back in the third and fourth round to dominate the court. But the Wildcats were able to regroup and play hard for the ultimate win, beating the Mustangs 3 – 2. Aleena Bacon and Dana Lerum each topped two stat-categories, again proving their value to this Wildcats volleyball team. 

“I am proud of the Wildcats in gaining their composure down the stretch after a bad set three and four and falling behind in the fifth,” Harrison head volleyball coach Lisa Cooper said.
