Paton-Churdan began the 2021 high school volleyball season with two Rolling Valley Activities Conference losses in Westside on Tuesday. Coach Makayla Sparr’s team lost to Ar-We-Va 16-25, 7-25, 15-25, and to Boyer Valley (Dunlap) 9-25, 14-25, 13-25. The coach said the team did not have the night they planned, but she knew going in it could be a little rough since P-C had not played a match yet and AWV and BV had played several times. “We will have the rest of this week to practice and get ready for our game against Orient-Macksburg next week.” The Rockets host O-M on Monday the 13th in Churdan for the home opener.

Coach Sparr reports Paige Teeples had eight kills and Emma Stream recorded four ace serves on Tuesday.
