Even though the volleyball season at Pemayetv Emahakv Charter School was cancelled for the second straight year this fall due to the pandemic, PECS still produced champions on the court.

Four PECS students – Melaine Bonilla, Alyssa Madrigal, Yani Smith and Ka’Shyra Urbina – played for Yearling Middle School, which won the Indian River Conference championship Oct. 21 at Osceola Middle School.

“Ranked 3rd and thought of as the complete underdogs, [Yearling] had to win three games straight to be the Indian River Conference Champs,” Yearling coach Carrie Heineman wrote in a Facebook post. “OMS packed their gym with their entire school to watch this game and [Yearling] didn’t even flinch. They came and conquered.”
