Gaston Greyhounds Girls Volleyball 2-3 Mannahouse Christian Acad.

Mannahouse Christian Academy handed Gaston a 3-2 defeat in girls volleyball Friday night, sending the Greyhounds home from Portland with an 0-1 record to open the 2026 fall season. The Northwest League (2A) program out of Gaston, Oregon made the trip for this non-league road test and showed enough fight to push the match to a fifth set before coming up short. Winning a road match in five sets is never easy, and the Greyhounds demonstrated competitive resolve by extending the contest rather than folding early. Without a detailed box score available, the closeness of the final tells its own story, a team that refused to go away quietly in its season debut. Gaston will look to carry that resilience into its next opportunity, with the regular Northwest League schedule approaching. If Friday's performance reflects the kind of grit this group brings, there is reason to believe better results are on the way as the Greyhounds settle into their 2026 campaign.
