Eagle volleyball underway

The Fort Dale varsity volleyball team opened their regular season last Thursday at home with a 3-0 sweep of Macon East Academy.  “I’m really excited with how far we have come in training over the past few weeks,” said head coach David DeLozier. “We got a chance to reset after a tough showing at the Macon East tournament last Saturday, and I’m proud of how we responded. We pride ourselves on being gritty defensively and tough from the service line, and it showed tonight. I’m Looking forward to getting back after it in the gym as we now go on the road next week.” Pictured: Senior Anna Claire Thomas (#2) sets for junior Ceil Gregory (#3) with sophomore Natalie Skipper looking on.
