Its my pleasure to announce that the Parkland Cobras volleyball team finished second in the nation for a second consecutive year. Some may see it as a loss of a championship, but we will stay in control of our perspective and remember that to play for a national championship is an experience only few get to achieve. Im super proud of these girls and the coaching staff for realizing a dream season both on, and off, the court. Certainly the minor defeat at the end will keep these girls hungry to achieve their own personal successes and remember the awesome season this was. -------------------- After the Cobras put on a volleyball clinic the first two sets in scores of 25-13, 25-14, the several hundred Glendale fans came alive and helped the team from 10 minutes away come to life and sweep the final three sets 24-26, 10-25, 12-15. Lizzy Barnard again had a terrific match with 19 kills and 13 digs. Madison Weldon (28 assists and 11 digs) and Morgan Hickman (25 assists and 16 digs) joined Barnard with double-doubles. Teigan Flaws had 11 kills and 4 blocks while Lori VanBeek had 10 kills and 6 blocks on the match. Alayna Jackson hit .400 and notched 7 kills while Elise Dahlke had 6. Kaitlyn Hunt had another outstanding game with 25 digs in the match. PC finishes the season 54-3, and we fly back early tomorrow morning and get back to a normal life starting on Monday.
