OK….Attention all you Rocky fans. Tonight’s the night!!! The Lady Rocks Varsity Volleyball team is finally coming home to play a match in the Rocky Field House. We have played 22 matches so far this season, and all have been on the road. So the team is really looking forward to hearing some of that good ole, “Rocky Spirit,” in the Field House tonight. Although the Lady Rocks have not played at home yet, they have earned a very respectable 16 wins and 6 losses record for the 2011 season so far. They are currently in second place in the Western Big 6, with 3 wins and 1 loss, trailing only Quincy…who is 17-0 on the season. So plan on adding more fun to your homecoming week, by coming out tonight to support the Lady Rocks Volleyball team. The sophomore team will play at 6:00pm, followed by the varsity at around 7:00pm. See you there!!!
