Girls Dragons JV and SV Coach Sylvia MacDonald was pretty happy with the performance of her two teams.  "Regular season, that was our third game, not counting tournament play.  The JVs have won all three, and Varsity has won 2, and this is the first loss for Varsity.  We only have a couple of grade 12s, so we are definitely more of a grade 10-11 team."

CNP Pandas Girls JV and SV Coach Ginny Bryant is working with two different teams, made up of the same girls.  "They are all allowed to play JV, and they are all allowed to play senior, there's no grade 12's." she explained.  She was very happy with the Senior win against the Dragons. "It is always a little bit nerve wracking going into the 5th set, and being this close.  the Dragons played very well, they deserved it to be close."   She said both the JV and Senior teams have played three games, and additionally in tournaments.  "We are doing okay, there is a lot of learning to be done."
