The Griswold Tigers Volleyball team is hosting a 6-team tournament on Saturday at Griswold High School. In addition to the Tigers, ACGC, AHSTW, Denison-Schleswig, Riverside Southwest Valley will all be in action Saturday.

On Tuesday, Griswold played two matches in Hamburg against the Wildcats and #9 East Mills.  After sweeping the three sets versus Hamburg, they played a spirited match versus East Mills but came up short. However, Head Coach Jody Rossell loved how her team competed.

Griswold comes into to season with a veteran group of players. The tigers roster features nine seniors. With a large number of seniors, you will usually have some depth to work with. And although depth helps, it the leadership that the seniors provide that can be just as important.

In that group of senior leaders Gabbie Grieman is having a great season. Through 12 games she leads the Griswold offense with 79 kills and a kill efficiency of .295. Defensively she also leads the team with 15 blocks. Rossell knows that her dedication and versatility have contributed to her success on the court.

In addition to the seniors, there are a few standout young guns patrolling the court for the Tigers. Sophomore Carsyn Adams leads the team with 66 digs and sophomore Amanda Houser is fifth on the team with 29. This has Rossell not only exited for the present, but also the future of Griswold Volleyball.

The tournament will kick off at 9am at Griswold High School. The tigers will look to improve on their 6-6 record. Rossel is looking forward to the opportunity of seeing some new opponents and continued growth from her squad.
