Pepperell had to start their season on the road on Saturday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell 2-0 to the Model Blue Devils. The loss continues a trend for the Dragons in their meetings with the Blue Devils: they've now lost six in a row.
While Pepperell ultimately came up short, they really made Model work, particularly in the second set. The match finished with set scores of 25-20, 26-24.
Despite the defeat, Pepperell saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Aleksah Stroud had four aces and three digs.
Coincidentally, Pepperell and Model will both be playing Rockmart the next time they take the court. The Dragons will head out to face the Yellowjackets at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, while the Blue Devils will play them later in the day, at 11:00 a.m.
