Cardinals Volleyball, who rode the momentum of a two-game win streak against Versailles and Oak Grove coming into the Clinton Volleyball Invitational, gutted out four more wins in a row to take 1st Place in front of their home-crowd this past week. The Cardinals squad, which has shown guts, grit and steady improvement throughout the course of the season, seem to have fully taken flight, soaring into district play this week with the momentum of six straight victories. A big part of that win streak is the senior leadership on the squad, with seniors Mercedez Brown, Nyssa Brown, and Jazmyn Shockley leading the way for these Lady Cards, who seem to be peaking at just the right time. The team will start district play this Thursday against Ewing Marion Kauffman High-school, as they look to keep their season and championship hopes alive against the Blue Knights.
