“Credit to Oakridge for being a scrappy team on defense,” said R-P Coach Justin Birr. “We made a few too many service errors and let a few balls hit the floor that shouldn't have.
“We looked much more put together against Holton. We are still trying to find the right lineup to make us the most competitive, so we mixed it up quite a bit tonight.”
