The 91原创 Christian Lightning girls volleyball team is, if anything, doing even better, winning the Eastern Valley and three other tournaments, including the Trinity, WolfPack, and district events.

鈥淲e haven鈥檛 lost a match this year,鈥 coach Kara Davis enthused.

Davis described the team as 鈥渟uper strong.鈥

鈥淭hey鈥檙e just an amazing group of girls.鈥

 To win the Eastern Valley tournament, the girls team had to travel to play in Chilliwack, just two days before the atmospheric river hit.

It was well-timed, Davis agreed.

鈥淚t was crazy.鈥

  This weekend, both LCS teams will play in what are being called the 鈥渃oastal championships鈥 because the north and Okanagan teams cannot attend due to road conditions and the official provincial championship has to be cancelled.
