ROANOKE (WSLS 10) Two more Cave Spring stars are moving on to compete at the college level. Sydney McTigue was a star defender and team captain for the Knights Volleyball team. She had an exceptional serve percentage as well. Coach Tamlyn Tanis explained that McTigue's work ethic--coming to do the work with no expectations--paid dividends for her down the road. McTigue is headed to Bridgewater.
"We had a goal in mind to go to states, staring in August we had that in mind. so we were working every day to get there. I guess just having a goal in mind, you're ready to work as hard as you can to get there, so I think that's what my mindset was,"explains McTigue.
