BOILING SPRINGS, SC - On Tuesday night the Boiling Springs volleyball team held their annual Pink Night event that has been a staple of the Bulldogs program for the last 13 years.
As part of the annual event the team raises money through t-shirt sales, a silent auction, raffles, and other donations that they will donate to the American Cancer Society, and it was believed this year the donation may top over $4,000. At the match on Tuesday there was food to be seen for days as they also had a bake sale going on along with food being sold by Mexibilly's Food Truck that was parked in front of the gymnasium. Boiling Springs head volleyball coach Allyson Elliot says that no matter how many years the team has done this she is so appreciative of the turnout from people for the event each year. "It was such a great turnout tonight," said Elliot. "We appreciate our school, volleyball family, and community for coming together for such a great cause. We want to say a big thank you to everyone for helping make this night special once again, including all of our donors and sponsors." After all the festivities, the Bulldogs competed in a region match against Byrnes and while they fought hard Boiling Springs ended up losing a 3-1 match. The first set saw them fall 25-17 before bouncing back in set two to win 25-16 behind big service runs by Makayla Furrey and Gracen Bennett, that included two ace serves each from both players. In the third set it was tied 21-21 before Byrnes went on a 4-1 run to end the set and take a 2-1 lead in the match. The Bulldogs fought tough in the fourth set but eventually fell to the Rebels 25-20 to fall 3-1 in the match. "I am proud of my team for competing and continuing to improve," said Elliot. "We look forward to competing at Gaffney on Thursday night." Boiling Springs will return to the court for another region match at Gaffney on Thursday before returning home next Tuesday for the final match of the regular season against Spartanburg. It will also be the senior match for the Boiling Springs players.
