The Kirtland Hornets Volleyball team defeated the Perry Pirates 3-0 in their home opener on Wednesday night.
“Today, we actually looked pretty good keeping them out of system,” said Kirtland Head Volleyball Coach Ricky Sanders. “They (Perry) had a really strong outside hitter (Madison Miner) She’s going to get her kills. But we just got to tone it down and don’t let her get on.”
