The Fayetteville High School volleyball team won their first game of the season against Hempstead High School August 8 at Lions Gym two sets to one in tournament play. The Lady Li- ons struggled to find their mojo in the first set, then eventually settled in for the remainder of the match and took the last two sets. “We got a lot of moving parts, a lot of different pieces than last year,” said Fayetteville head volleyball coach Clint Jaeger.

Bellville High School volleyball currently sits at 5-5, but there’s no need to fret or panic. Bellville started 4-3 last year and ended up making it to the state tournament with an undefeated record in district (13-0) and an overall record of 39-11. The 2023 Brahmanettes will have the weapons in place to get back right where they were in ’22 with players such as junior outside hitter Sydney McKay and senior Sarah Lischka.

BELLVILLE — The Faith Academy Knights held their first scrimmage of the young football season at SAB Stadium, Friday night at 6 p.m. in front of a packed house. The Knights welcomed Spring Founders (TAPPS) and Second Baptist University Model (TAPPS), in a three team switchoff style scrimmage. A few minor mistakes here and there with the blocking but they moved the ball all night and outscored both by teams by a combined, 11 touchdowns.
