The first game of the volleyball season for the Lady Blackhawks took place on Tuesday, Aug. 25 in Alexandria against the Hanson Beavers. 

The C-team started the night with an 0-2 loss, but they improved as they played and will continue to work together as a team. The junior varsity came through getting a win with set scores of 25-23 and 25-20.
