Congrats to the golf team on their 9th win of the season with a team score 168, defeating Parkside and Bennett. We were led by Kole Kohut, Evan Oglesby and Clayton McCabe ‘s 41 and Jasper Davis’ 45.
Decatur volleyball had a huge win last night against Bennett. The night started with JV taking the win 2 to 0. Hailey Lewis and Hayden Esworthy did an amazing job on defense and Makenzie Littleton and Lila Gunther dominated at the net. Next, Varsity fought a hard battle but swept the Clippers 3 to 0. Alice Bickel and Theresa Hayes were the heroes of the night. Both outside hitters racked up 7 kills each and did an impressive job blocking the attack. Come out and cheer on the Seahawks next Tuesday for the grudge match against Snow Hill.
Remember to base your decisions on the Decatur Way Principles. Have a Fantastic Friday Decatur!
