The late Coach John Wooden once said "Sports do not build character, they reveal it." That's one of the reasons that Midland coaches do their best to teach players how to perform both on the field, and off the field. Midland fans and players are proud to be Mustangs, but are equally proud to be Midland.

Games began on Thursday morning, October 20, and our girls varsity volleyball team went head to head with other Adventist high schools from around the country.

During the season, the team went 27-3 in matches played, winning by an average score of 25-17.
A hearty well done to the team and to their coaches!

Nice work, Jenna!
