The Raider Dome was rocking tonight as The Lady Raiders kept their hot start to the season rolling sweeping all three matches against Hartfield Academy. The Middle School (7-2) Volleyball team got it started with a 2-0 victory over the Lady Hawks. Then the JV squad took the floor and dropped the first set but rallied to win the final two sets including a dominant third and final set. The JV Girls improved to 3-0 on the season. Then in the final match of the evening the Varsity Lady Raiders battled the team that kept them from winning the State Championship last year.
