The Monument Valley High School volleyball team got their season started in Shiprock, NM with a tough straight-sets loss to the Shiprock Lady Chieftains.
All three sets were close with the first set taking overtime and the final result 28-26. Shiprock won the second set 25-22 and the third 25-19.
Though it’s very early in the season the Lady Cougars were gearing up for one of their biggest matches of the season this week.
They paid a visit to Montezuma Creek to take on the Whitehorse Lady Raiders in the first Battle of the Drum of the season on Tuesday, August 26.
The game was played after the San Juan Record print deadline. Be sure to check the September 3 issue of the paper for a full recap.
The Monument Valley girls are set for a very busy weekend as they travel to Window Rock, AZ on Friday and Saturday, August 29-30 for the Window Rock Tournament.
