The Lady Defenders opened the defense of their 42nd District title in convincing fashion Tuesday evening, as they hosted the opening round of the 2009 KHSAA volleyball tournament. The hosts came out focused on the task at hand and rode strong serving, accurate passing, and an array of powerful attacks from all quarters of their front line past Berea in a pair of efficient 25-5 sets. The Lady Pirates competed gamely, but had no effective answer for Bryan Station's potent blend of offense and teamwork.

The Defenders move on to tonight's, (Wed.), 7:30 championship game against Madison Central, winners of the evening's second game over Madison Southern. The Championship will be a rematch of last years finals as these two familiar foes renew their rivalry for the third time this season in search of District 42 bragging rights. Station has come out on top in both of this season's previous meetings, but all games have been hotly contested and the Indians can be counted on to not concede anything. Our ladies will need to maintain their focus and come out ready to Defend their title. They need and deserve our support. Please plan to come out and cheer them on in what will be their last home appearance of the year. Good Luck Ladies!!!
