Bragging rights are on the line when the three volleyball teams from St. Clair Shores – Lake Shore, Lakeview and South Lake – compete in the annual War in the Shores on Thursday at 7 p.m.

Of the three teams, South Lake has enjoyed the most successful season thus far, tied for second in the MAC Silver and 15-13 overall.

Lakeview is fifth in the MAC Gold with a 1-2 league mark, and Lake Shore (2-7-1) overall has yet to win a league match in the Gold.

Thursday night, the records won’t matter for the three teams. All that will matter in the end is that one team can say it is the best in St. Clair Shores.
