The Lady Eagles volleyball team bus broke down on the way to Cherokee on Thursday, and after the team arrived at the gym one carload at a time, the team began their play as if they were not functioning on all cylinders.
      "It got ugly early", commented Coach Ed Irvin. "We got behind 4-7 quickly & then we continued to deteriorate and fell back 11-17, finally losing 18-25 in the first set. We were playing like we were 
still on the bus, not in a gym for a match.
      The Lady Chiefs jumped out to a 11-5 lead in the second set, but Seymour came storming back to a 13-13 tie. Seymour kept the momentum & won the second set 25-20. Seymour set the pace in the third set to lead 13-7, and held on for a 25-22 win.
      The fourth set went to Cherokee 25-21, with the Lady Eagles dropping behind early and was unable to catch up.
      Once again, Seymour responded with a fifth set victory at 15-12 behind the clutch serving from freshmen Sarah Stoffle and Kasey Norman.
