The Outlaws controlled the game from start to fin- ish, and great net play from Sophie Silva and accurate serves from sister Sam Silva We showed composure and confidence, and we were able to put together complete games. A championship today was a great way for us to kick off the second half of league play. — Coach Rory Rush were big boosts to the team. The Outlaws started the first set with an 8-0 lead and held onto that momentum to the end. Sisters’ strong serves were too much for the Cheesemakers to han- dle, as they were never able to find a rhythm in their offense. Coach Rory Rush said, “After losing a tough league game against Sweet Home on Thursday, our goal coming into today was to find con- fidence, learn from our loss, and grow as a team. Today, we were able to accomplish this. We showed composure and confidence, and we were able to put together com- plete games. A championship today was a great way for us to kick off the second half of league play.” Temperatures are Dropping... It’s not too early to get your home winter-ready! FAMILY OWNED. SISTERS PROUD.
