The West Sedona School volleyball team kept its record perfect Tuesday, Sept. 20, with a 2-1 win over visiting rival Camp Verde Middle School.

Camp Verde came to town looking to steal a victory, but second-year Head Coach Erin Fagan and her Wildcats wouldn’t allow it, improving their 2011 record to a perfect 7-0.

“We started slow, but the girls came back and they came together in time,” Fagan said. “These girls have good relationships with each other, and we’re beginning to come together as a team.”

The Cowboys were solid in game one, claiming a 25-15 win to take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three series at West Sedona on Tuesday.

West Sedona fought back in game two, squeaking by a Camp Verde team trying to find out where its focus wandered off to, 25-23.

In game three, the Wildcats took the rubber match, 15-11, thus taking the best-of-three series, 2-1.
