The Barnstormers kicked off the 2021 season in exciting fashion on Tuesday vs. the Gravette Lions. The Stormers won the first game led by the outstanding play of Senior Molly O'Dell, the team captain, who had multiple kills at the net. After winning games two and three, Gravette led game four 23-21 before the Stormers roared back to tie the match at two games apiece. Game five went the way of the Lions 16-14, a hard-fought game in which neither team led by more than three points.
