Volleyball team loses heartbreaker in first varsity home game

Momentum is an interesting thing, when it’s with you, life rolls along fine, when it’s taken away, you can fall flat.
That summed up Thursday night’s varsity volleyball game between Atrisco Heritage Academy and Rio Grande High in the Jaguar Den. The Lady Jags lost 25-23 in the final game. They had won the first game, but then the Ravens’ experience started to take over.
However the news wasn’t all bad for the Lady Jags. This is a varsity team playing for the first year with no seniors. Rio has several seniors with a lot of varsity experience on their side. That’s why Coach Vickie Meyer is optimistic about the rest of the season.

“I hope the girls do not get down about this,” Coach Meyer said. “They played so well and worked hard, but now I think they see this as a game we could have won. We need to keep that attitude because this is a team of strong players who want to get better every game.”
The next varsity game is Tuesday, Sept. 14 against Highland High Hornets in the Jaguar Den.
