“I was proud of their hard fought battle, and I gave the seniors a hug since it was their last volleyball game,” said Wolves Head Coach McKaylie Croghan.

After a dominating first half in which they scored in each quarter and led the Glidden-Ralston Wildcats 22-8, the Exira-EHK Spartans fell flat in the third quarter and then what looked like a victory going away, became a barn burner when the Wildcats scored to open the fourth quarter making it a one score game, 22-16
