Volleyball
The game against Orrick, on Tuesday, October 8th, was exciting as well as nerve wracking for most Cougar fans as they watched Kenna Brandes earn her 1,000th dig. She is the first to do so in Crest Ridge volleyball history.
The Crest Ridge Lady Cougars have played a total of 28 games this season, with 3 remaining. This number excludes post season play in which the girls plan to go all the way to state with their exceptional team this year.
The Cougars have a record of 20-4-3 so far this season which is already better compared to last years record of 21-10-1.
The Lady Cougars were awarded with a second place trophy on October 12th, as a result of their hard work at the I-70 Conference Tournament.
The District Volleyball Tournament will be held on October 28- 30th at Drexel High School.
According to MSHSAA, Crest Ridge has the best record in the district, winning 85% of their games.
