SPIKING OUR WAY TO THE NEXT CHAPTER! Lady Bombers Celebrate with a BIG WIN! Monday evening was extra special at RCMS as the 8th Grade Lady Bombers took the home court for the final time before heading to the high school next year! Friends and family celebrated our athletes as the gym lights dimmed and each Bomber was introduced and escorted onto the court by her family. With the theme “Spiking Our Way to the Next Chapter,” it was a memorable night filled with Bomber pride, family, and volleyball! A TEAM — THREE SETS, ONE BIG FINISH! The Lady Bombers battled the West Central Lady Trojans, winning set one 25-18 before narrowly dropping set two 23-25. But the Bombers weren't ready to call it a night! They came out firing in set three and DOMINATED 15-4 to seal the win and move to 10-3! Talk about saving the fireworks for the finale!
