  • October 4, 2018 Bulldog Sports Round-up

    Once again, they are the champions. The Yellow Springs High School girls volleyball team clinched a share of the Metro Buckeye Conference title in straight sets on their home court on Thursday, Sept. 27. After winning back-to-back MBC titles in 2015 and 2016, the team lost it last year, to the very team they bested last Thursday — Emmanuel Christian. The victory was sweet, but the team still has its sights set on winning the conference outright.
