The history of the Caldwell County volleyball program is not a long one, but the Lady Tigers have been able to amass wins pretty quickly. CCHS got its 100th victory on the volleyball court Thursday night, winning 25-22, 25-18 at Union County. Im not sure it means a whole lot to this years team, but the coaches are pretty excited about, noted Caldwell head coach Sue Stone, who has guided the program since its inception in 2001. (Assistant coach) Lisa (Newby) and I have been here since the beginning and Dawnyelle (Belt) joined us the second year. Hopefully well be able to add some more wins this year. The victory improved Caldwell to 10-5 this season, and 100-65-2 in 51/2 years. Im not sure how that stacks up against other programs, but we feel pretty good about it, said Stone.

For the second straight week Baker placed second at a weekend volleyball tournament. Saturday, at Burns, the Bulldogs finished behind the host Hilanders after falling 25-21, 25-17 in the championship match. Baker, which finished second at the Pendleton tournament a week earlier, reached Saturday's title match after sweeping pool play 25-8, 25-15 over Madras, 25-12, 25-18 over Vale, and 25-21, 25-12 over Lakeview. In bracket play, the Bulldogs defeated Nyssa 25-9, 25-6 and Ontario 25-12, 25-15 before facing Burns. "We played pretty consistent in pool play," said Baker coach Marcy Hayes. "We had a few ups and downs. One of our goals all day was to be consistent and run a quick offense. Our consistency was good up until we played Burns. I don't know if it was a mental thing or if we were just tired." Several Bulldogs amassed solid numbers during the day.
