Ally German led Fruitport with 19 kills while Kelsey Schultz added 17 digs. Kailey Carmean chipped in with 48 assists and eight digs for the Trojans and Katie Veihl had 11 digs and five aces.

The Trojans team wore all pink uniforms and raised money for breast cancer awareness and research.

Many teams adopt events like this, but for Fruitport it had special meaning as two faculty members, Elementary Principle Courtney Stahl and 7th Grade teacher Sue Goldberg are battling cancer and the students wanted to help however they could.

“Our kids have a real passion for their teachers,” said Fruitport coach Nicole Bayle. “I’m really proud that they understand the important things in life.”
