First Baptist Academy volleyball

First Baptist Academy (FBA) seventh-grader Valerie Matte (pictured) prepares for a shot on the volleyball court. This season, the FBA Warriors are adding safety precautions to volleyball and other fall sports, including football, cheer and cross country. The Warriors are maintaining social distance on the buses, wearing masks, and routinely taking temperatures. The volleyball team spent the beginning of the school year practicing and began games in October. Last season’s team finished with an impressive 7-2 record, and they hope to have another strong volleyball performance this year.
