The Red Wolves are currently the #1 ranked team in the 5A Classification with a 18-1 record, including two wins over 7A team Greensboro Grimsley and a 6A team in East Chapel Hill. On September 24, the Red Wolves swept a nonconference season series by beating Grimsley in four sets in Hillsborough. Senior Kayla Stoll finished with 12 kills, a season-high. She added four blocks. Currently, Stoll is third on the team with 100 kills. She leads the team with 44 blocks. Senior Ellamarie Perel had two kills and three blocks against the Whirlies.
