PROCTORVILLE — Together we can.
It took some team solidarity and a lot of grit as the Coal Grove Lady Hornets rallied from a two-set deficit to beat the Fairland Lady Dragons in a five-set volleyball game win on Wednesday.
Coal Grove lost 31-29 and 27-25 in two great sets to begin the game, but then won 25-17, 25-20 and 15-9 in the tiebreaker to take the Ohio Valley Conference win.
