Watervliet Public Schools

The Watervliet JV Volleyball team opened their season with a powerful statement, sweeping all three opponents — Michigan Lutheran, Red Arrow, and Mattawan — in straight sets during their opening‑day quad. It was the kind of performance that shows a team isn’t just ready for the season; they’re ready to make noise. From the first serve of the night, Watervliet looked sharp. Their communication was crisp, their energy stayed high, and every player on the court contributed to the momentum. The Panthers controlled rallies with disciplined defense and smart ball placement, turning tough plays into scoring opportunities. What stood out most wasn’t just the wins — it was the teamwork. Watervliet played connected volleyball: talking, trusting, and executing. For an opening‑day quad, it was exactly the kind of performance that builds momentum for the season ahead. The JV Panters play again tomorrow morning at the Coloma Early Bird Tournament at 9:45am.
