A varsity volleyball game between the Floyd County Lady Buffaloes and the James River Knights looked like a cruiser for the FCHS ladies as they won the first two matches but the Knights came back with victories in the next two, forcing a fifth game tie-breaker, which was a 15-4 crusher for the Lady Buffs.

Sadly, the JV Lady Buffs went down 0-2.
