Franklin Lightning Girls Volleyball 2-0 Lebanon

Franklin's girls volleyball team started the 2026 season on the right foot Saturday, sweeping Lebanon 2-0 in a non-league home opener at Franklin High School in Portland, Oregon. The Quakers, who compete in the PIL (6A), made a clean first impression in their debut, taking both sets against the visiting Warriors to move to 1-0 on the young season. Without a detailed box score available, the final margin tells a straightforward story: Franklin controlled the match from start to finish, never forcing Lebanon to a decisive third set. Non-league early-season matchups like this one serve a real purpose, giving coaches a live look at rotations, serve-receive patterns, and which players rise under game pressure before PIL competition begins. Saturday's result gives Franklin confidence and something concrete to build on heading into the weeks ahead. The Quakers return to action next, looking to carry this momentum forward as they prepare for the rigors of PIL play.
