Oh so close!

ELKHART (Thurs., Oct. 11, 2007) - After building a 14-10 lead in the fifth game at Elkhart Christian, the Couriers (24-5) were unable to convert in a 25-21, 18-25, 22-25, 25-19, 14-16 defeat to the Eagles (21-8). The Couriers have not defeated the Eagles since 2005.

The JV won their first game against Elkhart Christian but lost the last two to finish the season 10-3. This record was the best in Courier history since at least 2002. Kim Yoder, a 2006 Clinton graduate, completes her first season as JV coach.

The varsity will enjoy Senior Day and a three-way match Saturday. The Couriers open with Bethany Christian at 10 a.m. followed by Bethany and Fort Wayne Canterbury and, finally, Canterbury and Clinton at noon. All three games will be played at Heritage Middle School. Six seniors will be honored for their years on the court.
