Undefeated from page HI While coming in with high confidence, the Ravens quickly found themselves with their backs against the wall down one set. The first serve was an indicator of how the set would play out as Jaden McKnight spiked the ball with emphasis to score the fust point. The Ravens would run 10 consecutive points to start the set. Hanes called timeout to settle down the team. East Forsyth had too much momentum as they just continued to pour it on consistently, maintaining a 10-point lead throughout. They won the second set 21-10. The third set began just as the second had ended. East Forsyth stayed hot and led 5-0 early on. Treyvon George and Matthew Thompson were ball hawks and did not allow Hanes to score easily. With the score getting out of hand at 7-0, Hanes finally got on the board, but it was to no avail as East Forsyth kept their foot on the gas. The Ravens took home the vic tory by the score of 15-10 to stay undefeated at 6-0. East Forsyth head coach Kim Conrad says it feels awesome to stay undefeated because of the hard work her team has put in. "I think our team played well but there is always room few improve ment," Conrad said. "They are coming along each game and I'm very proud of them. Hanes head coach Brian Smith added, "We have improved a lot but we have had a couple of set backs by random things that happen in middle school like field trips and clubs that you cant really predict but I'm just really proud of their effort today and how far we have come so far this year." Defeat from page B1 apiece. The Dragons jumped out to an 8-3 lead. The lead got as large as eight with the score at 11-3 when East Forsyth seemed to wake up a bit and closed the gap to 11-7.

With the Dragons car rying the momentum of the second set win, they started the third set off with a bang by jumping out to a 4-0 lead. With the winner only needing IS to win, getting out to an early lead was imperative. At one point during the set, Hanes lead 7-1. The Dragons led from start to finish during the final set and won it 15-7. Hanes head coach Brian Smith was pleased with the play and tough ness his Lady Dragons showed in the second and third sets. "We had a shaky start, but I think we did a good job fighting back," Smith said. "We executed well and I think we did what we needed to do to win. We struggled a bit, but we did come back, but seeing where we were at the beginning of the season til now, we have improved tremendously." Brandon Buchanon, East Forsyth head coach, said his girls have shown so much improvement over the last two weeks and the game against Hanes was probably their best show ing of the season thus far. "They played hard and I am proud of them," Buchanon said. "We missed some serves and passes, and Hanes out passed us in the third set and didn't make many mis takes. We will learn from this and get better."
