The Cooper City High School girls’ volleyball team played in their home gym for the last time this season on Wednesday, October 20 against the Miramar Mustangs. The Cowboys beat the Mustangs in three straight games with final scores of 25-6, 25-16, and 25-12.
In the first game the Mustangs didn’t even get a chance to completely go through their rotation, and the Cowboys defeated them with a score of 25-6.
The Cowboys prevailed and won the second game 25-16.
In the final game the Cowboy seniors got their chance to play together on their home court one final time and won the game 25-12.
Four graduating players, Adee Okavat, Jennifer Molina, Shelby Nix, and Beca Fingles played their last home game and were honored as part of senior night.
