  • 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. From left are Annlyn Foster, Ateerys Wagner, Angie Smith, Ava Schell, Tyler Linkhart, Olivia Snoddy, Alex Ronnebaum (with arms raised) and Aaliyah Longhsaw. Not pictured is Emma Ronnebaum. The team hosts Dayton Christian at YSHS at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9, in its final regular season game. (Photo by Megan Bachman)
