scoring points

Murphy High School’s volleyball team has been on a tear this season. So much so, that they’ve only lost one set the entire season. Not one match, one single set!

The Bulldogs found themselves in their final match of the season against Robbinsville this past week.

They won the first set 25-7, second set 25-12, and the final set 25-20 to sweep the Black Knights and secure their fourth straight SMC Conference title.

That means that Seniors like Grace Nelson, Sarah Pullium and Olivia Cook will graduate without knowing what its like to NOT win a conference title, which is pretty special.

Head Coach Nikol Watson has done an outstanding job with these ladies and has not let coaching in a pandemic detour her from coaching a winning team.

Its once in a blue moon when a senior class like this one comes through a school. Winning the conference championship in your respective sport every year that you are in high school is a heck of an accomplishment.

#TeamFYNsports and the Sunday edition wants to congratulate the Bulldogs on a heck of a season and a heck of a run over the last four years.

One thing I did want to bring up though, is the way that the North Carolina High School Athletic Association is doing the playoffs for sports this year. Your overall winning percentage and wins doesn’t matter, all you have to do is win your conference and you receive and automatic bid into the playoffs. From there they draw your name to see what seed you will receive. Its kind of bull that they do seeding that way if you ask me, but thats just the way things are in this day and age I suppose.
