The 7th and 8th grade Lady Bombers had a baller experience last night as they got to attend the Purdue vs. Michigan State volleyball game! It was the ultimate team bonding opportunity, and the girls were blown away by the fast-paced, intense action on the court. Watching high-level digs, kills, and quick sets had them wide-eyed and on the edge of their seats. Even better—Purdue swept Michigan State in 3 sets! Our Bombers were treated like true VIPs from the moment they arrived, with a Purdue rep meeting them at the bus and escorting them into Holloway Gymnasium. The girls got to create the fan tunnel for the Purdue athletes to run through as they fired up for the match—an unforgettable moment for sure! After the game, the excitement didn’t stop. The Lady Bombers snapped a photo on the court, met Purdue Pete, and even ran into Purdue’s very own rockstar, Chloe Chicoin, at McDonald's! The girls were totally star-struck, and Chloe was so kind, taking photos and answering all their questions. It was definitely a night to remember, full of fun, fast volleyball, and unforgettable memories!
