Green Ridge Volleyball clawed their way to victory in both Junior Varsity and Varsity matches in Sweet Springs Tuesday evening.
Junior Varsity started the night winning the 2-set matchup 25-19, 25-18 with an impressive serving game behind sophomore Miley Hayes' 6 aces. Sophomore Mallory Reed and freshman Kayden Box served for 3 aces each and sophomore Jellisa Atwood added in 2 aces as well. Sophomore Abby Warner led the offense with 4 kills while Kayden and Jellisa each swung for 2 kills in the win.
The Varsity powered through a tough and scrappy Greyhound defense to take the WIN against Sweet Springs in a 5-set thriller! 18-25, 15-25, 25-6, 25-15, 15-13. Sophomore Miley Hayes served for 3 aces early in the match, but the Lady Tigers couldn't put the ball down on a relentless defensive effort from the Greyhounds. Set 3 changed it all with some adjustments in serving strategy combined with a lineup adjustment to stabilize the Tigers defense. Freshman Emery Canon got in a groove from the service line, serving for 6 aces, and fellow freshman Santana Rivas took the Libero spot to strengthen the passing game. From there, Lady Tigers found their fight. Senior outside hitter Kayley Goodman used a variety of placement shots to finish with a team high 13 kills for the night. Middle hitters Neveah Washington, a junior, and Kelsey Buxton, a senior, added to the offense with Neveah getting 10 kills and Kelsey 6 kills along with 3 blocks. Senior setter Matti Mergen and sophomore setter Sydney Gordon each finished with 13 assists. Lady Tigers were behind 3-10 in the 5th and final set and fought back with that Tiger Pride that we all know and love! Congratulations Lady Tigers!!
GR parents and guardians, we still do not have all students' updated enrollment information. Enrollment can be completed via paper packet that was sent home at open house, or the online enrollment option. If you choose to do the online option, there are still a few papers you will have to fill out by hand. Look for the brightly colored papers. Please get all enrollment information completed as soon as possible. Students will not have access to chromebooks until all their enrollment papers are completed and turned in to the office. Thank you for your help in this matter.

We have had great music camps this week!
Band has been hard at work learning new music, refreshing their minds on marching technique, and a few brand new things. It’s not all work and no play! We played a couple games to round out a few of our days. All in all, it was a good time and we are looking forward to getting back to playing music together.
Harmony has been challenged to step-up their choreography game and they are crushing it! They have been picking the moves up quick and working hard. With as much fun as they are having, it hardly looks like work!
