It was a night of heart and hustle Friday as the Churchill County Greenwave volleyball teams hosted their annual Pink Out Fundraiser to benefit the Churchill Community Hospital Foundation and took on the Lowry Buckaroos in front of a spirited home crowd.
The freshman team set the tone early, cruising to victory in straight sets, 25-12 and 25-17.
In junior varsity play, the Greenwave and Buckaroos battled through three hard-fought sets. Churchill edged out the opener 25-23 before Lowry answered back 25-22. The deciding set went to the Greenwave, who sealed the win 15-9 to take the match two sets to one.
Before the varsity match, the Lady Wave paused for a moment that put the night’s cause into focus—presenting a $5,512 check to the Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation, representing funds raised during their earlier Pink Out event on Sept. 18.
Once play began, the Greenwave showed the same determination on the court that they did in fundraising, dominating Lowry in straight sets, 25-16, 25-17, and 25-9.
From start to finish, the evening was a perfect blend of competitive spirit and community giving, another example of how Churchill County athletes continue to make a difference both on and off the court.
