In front of a good crowd, the 2008 volleyball Seniors were honored before the contest with Sterling City Saturday afternoon at Veribest. The three young ladies were presented with flowers and a necklace from the coaches and the Booster Club. Emily Lankford, Allie Caldera, and Angela Hood have gathered an impressive resume of achievements while at Veribest. All three will continue their education after high school. Both Emily and Angela plan to attend college, while Allie hopes to become a massage therapist and a nurse. All three young ladies are members of the National Honor Society. Emily is actively involved in the Student Council, while Allie is an active member of the FFA. Angela was this year's Homecoming queen.
The game was played at a high level of intensity, but Sterling City proved too much for the Lady Falcons. Veribest succumbed in three games, but never quit playing until the end. Lauren Moeller, Emily Lankford, and Megan Aldridge did a great job of blocking, while the back row played consistently well. Becca Perez came off the bench to give the Lady Falcons some back row support, while Haley Humble and Emily Lankford led the front row attack. The Lady Falcons will travel to Water Valley to play the Wildcats in the final game of the season Tuesday night. Veribest can knock Water Valley out of the playoffs if they can pull off the win. Take the drive to Water Valley and support the Lady Falcons!
