The next night they hosted Otterville and the Greyhounds prevailed in three sets. On Wednesday they won their first game against Lakeland but then the Vikings won the next three games. Thursday was a replay as the Black & Gold won the first game but lost the next three to Sacred Heart. Stat leaders for the Hounds were Kyndal Allee and Alexis Ridenour who led the team in digs. Allee and Madison Miller led the squad in kills.

Football: The WHS gridders won their fourth game of the year 38-6 over Lincoln. The Cardinals got on the board on the second play from scrimmage on a long pass. But it was all Windsor after that.

Cox ran for a 60-yard touchdown for the only score of the second half. Cox totaled 267 yards rushing as the Greyhounds ran for 385 yards.
