Of all the games of the season, both the Williamstown Lady Demons and the Grant County Lady Braves agree that meeting their cross-town rivals is among the most important.
When they met on Aug. 30 at Grant County High School it was clear that both teams were prepared to fight for the win.
Before the game began, Grant County senior Raven Wilson felt confident in her team’s ability to beat their rival.

The disappointment was apparent for the Grant County Lady Braves as they were swept by Walton-Verona in three sets Aug. 23 at Walton-Verona High School.

Trailing most of the first and second sets, the Braves struggled to communicate on the court, leading to errors that, according to players, should not have occurred.
“Our goals are to be a more talkative team and to go further than we ever have. We are learning things from a new coach. We all want a great season and we have all the potential,” said Lady Braves Senior Taylor Cummins.
