 Well, let's head indoors with some volleyball. Pequot Lakes finds themselves off to an impressive 8 and 3 start. And for more on the Patriots early success, our Clayton Castle has the story. We're a month into the high school volleyball season and one team is turning heads as the Pequot Lakes Patriots find themselves with an eight and three record, despite a challenging schedule to begin the season. We've had some really tough competition. And so I think to come out eight and three is super. Success is measured in preparation in 2017 as the girls had laser point focus in the off season, gearing up for the long season ahead. They were up in the weight room doing things that would help them be more explosive. And that really came into that game. The Patriots are led by a number of seniors, including Claire Gainley, who leads the team with 52 kills, as well as setters Carly Scogue and Santa Lowe Miller. We're just super close. And I think that helps us in the long run and we just play as a team all the time. We've been playing together for a really long time. And we're all really close. We're really good friends. And I think that really helps us out in the court. With eight hard fought wins so far, including a shutout win over nine and one Melrose, the Patriots know that the schedule doesn't get any easier from here. I think our region is pretty tough. So we try to just keep on working every day to play better volleyball. Well, we all need to keep working hard and stuff like that. But I think we're all just pretty excited to keep on playing. Aside from wins or losses, the seniors are just enjoying the ride, hoping to find even more success down the stretch. I think just always to have fun and always play together. I think that's a huge key to a good team. Reporting in Pequot Lakes Clayton Castle, Lakeland News. Thanks Clayton, the Patriots are back in action tomorrow night at home, hosting Staples Motley.
