The Trojans are on a hot streak going 4 – 2 down the home stretch and Wednesday’s match will help determine playoff positions. The volleyball players and coaching staff would love to see a crowd of loud, proud, and excited (did we say LOUD) Trojan Volleyball fans! The match begins at 7 PM and the last time these teams met in Mayville it was a hard fought 4 game match. The good news is Mayville has to finish the regular season at our house and so the MORE Trojan fans, the LOUDER the Trojan fans, the more EXCITED the Trojan fans the BETTER. We hope to see you there and there’s a lot at stake not just positions going into playoffs but also a TROJAN WIN guarantees that Coach Henning has to wear a dress the first round of playoffs! (She doesn’t even own a dress!) So come cheer on the Trojans on Wednesday evening at 7 PM at Memorial Fieldhouse. Mon, 03 Nov 2008 14:18:31 +0100
