Lead by Coach Eve, this squad leaves everything on the floor and works very hard to pull out victories which displays a NO QUIT mind-set, and they're to be commended. It takes a tremendous amount of effort and teamwork to make it deep into the playoffs, but to do it in consecutive seasons displays the fact that <strong>BIG TIME</strong> prospects like Captain Setter [player_tooltip player_id='544934' first='Miy'Aja' last='Diggs'], Senior MB [player_tooltip player_id='581520' first='Destiny' last='Matthews'], Sophomore OH [player_tooltip player_id='573493' first='Arial' last='Fox'] & Senior MB [player_tooltip player_id='528278' first='Da'Maia' last='Bryant'], are extremely valuable and they were determined to lead this team with success no matter the challenge.

Coming into playoffs as the lower seed, they immediately upended the #2 seed they faced, then went the distance with the #1 seed and over came in a five-set upset, making them ready for the semifinals as they would face a great challenge. It was apparent that the Lady Dragons of Red Rock would not give up without a fight as they were led by the demonstrative kills of <strong>BIG TIME</strong> prospect [player_tooltip player_id='543915' first='Bella' last='Risling'] (OH). This offense is also powered by great play by Senior Captain Tiffany Turnispeed (Libero), & Junior Setter [player_tooltip player_id='724008' first='Jayda' last='Peckham'] who had very efficient service receptions and assists that kept the challenge going. This team has definitely made an impact, and we congratulate the Dragons on a great playoff run.</p>   <p><strong><em><u>The Dragons Prospect Highlights</u></em></strong></p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/YNtewuxgccM </div></figure>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>Rancho Rams</em></span></h2>   <p>The Rancho Rams came into the playoffs having earned their #1 seed after they worked through the season and have proven themselves to be worthy and ready for the playoff season.
