Middle School volleyball defeats Joplin

The Nevada Middle School seventh and eighth grade volleyball teams dominated their way to a victory in Joplin Thursday night.

The seventh grade B team took out Joplin North in two sets 25-18, 25-14. The A team dominated their first set, winning 25-11, but struggled in the second set, just holding on for a 25-20 win.

The eighth grade B team showed the most one-sided performance of the night as they were able to roll past Joplin 25-5, 25-6. The A team, however, found themselves locked in the closest contest of the night as they needed three sets to take the win 21-25, 25-15, 25-22.

Both seventh and eighth grade teams are set to travel to Joplin again for their next contest on Monday, squaring off against Joplin South.
