Encampment’s biggest rivalry is the Panthers of Saratoga.
But Saturday morning the Tigers’ volleyball team did some quarreling with the Panthers of a different name. Cokeville.
The outcome, however, was no different than the last two meeteings between Encampment and Saratoga. Cokeville set the pace from the get-go and won the match in four games 25-11, 25-11, 24-26 and 25-10.
Head coach Robin Loftice said, “I think our team played good. Cokeville is a tough team and taking them to four games was exciting.”
The loss drops Encampment to 6-14 on the season, but Loftice is more concerned with “playing as a team.
“We’ve had some players sick, so they’ve been out for a few weeks,” Loftice said. “The girls I’ve put (on the court) have played well, but we’ve talked this week about getting back as a team and playing as one.”
Encampment hosts Little Snake River Hig School on Friday Oct., 12. The two teams have split the season series at one match apiece with Encampment having won the most recent contest.
