After a disappointing finish at the previous competition, they are anticipating doing very well this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully we can try to do our best and make it to finals. We are working on being together as group, with less individual work and more teamwork,\u201d junior Kali Coleman said.<\/p>\n<p>Last Friday, the varsity and JV boys traveled to Columbus Grove and came home with victories for both teams. On Saturday they played at home against New Knoxville and had much success once again.
