Student Council hosted its second annual volleyball tournament on Thursday, Oct. 27 in the gym. There were 20 teams that helped Liberty raise approximately $324 for a canned food drive.

The tournament was for students and staff and the admission fee was 30 cans or $30. There were a total of 270 cans. The proceeds will go to Hope Ministries.

The competing teams dressed up in costumes or uniforms. The referees were students and staff. Some of the referees even played the part dressed up in a referee Halloween costume.

“We got our costume ideas off of Pinterest,” Cassidy Widlowski said.

It was a random pick of who you went up against.

“We won but it was intimidating because of all of the 6 foot tall guys,” Widlowski said.

Some of the students were on Liberty’s varsity volleyball team.

“We played hard out there and it’s very easy out there,” Lauren Jones said. “There’s not a lot of competitive teams.”

Everyone yelled and cheered for other teams as they waited for their turn and there was a lot of team spirit.

“It was for a good cause and I had a lot of fun,” Sam Linville said.
