- Kathleen Ellyn/Chieftain Enterprise holds against Riverside at the Saturday, Sept. 19, tourney.
The Enterprise Outlaws hit the volleyball court and played 20 games between Thursday and Saturday. And they looked good doing it.
In Joseph pool play on Saturday, Sept. 19, they played Echo, Mac-High, and Condon-Wheeler, losing the first and winning the other two.

“We took first place in our pool,” said Coach LaShawnda Gill.
That put them in the championship bracket where they beat the Riverside Pirates (25-13, 25-19, 15-12). Against Elgin they took the first set (25-23) but lost the second two (20-25, 8-15) coming home with a second place in the tournament.
The team is gelling and is a blast to watch, particularly when the game gets close.
“We’ve been really working on just playing for each other and having fun,” said Gill. “We play better when we’re smiling. When we’re too focused is when we don’t do as well.”
The next game is at home versus Elgin, 5 p.m. on Sept. 24.
