Jr. Lady Aces Continue To Roll With Sweep Of New Hope

From Coach Bonnie Keepes:

The Jr. Lady Aces traveled to Fairfield to face New Hope last night. All three teams took the win. The C team started us off with a 25-13, 25-18 win. The girls kept the ball going on some long volleys and really scrambled for the ball. Highlights were Zoie Randall with 3 aces, Alivia Peach 6 aces and 2 kills, Quincy Keepes 5 aces, Ty Marie McCleave 1 ace, Madelyn Meadows an ace, and an assist, Addison Mobley 4 aces.

The JV team won a 2 set match, first set 25-17 and second one they came away with an exciting 29-27 win. The end was back and forth for a good bit, and gave the crowd a show. They improved on transitioning off the net to get in bigger approaches. Takeaways were Leah Lewis with 6 assists, a dig, Kinley Harris 4 aces, and a kill, Kyleigh Smith picked up an ace, and a kill, Lyla Keepes 5 aces, 7 assists, 3 kills, Mercedes Dillard a kill, Evie Sellers an 5 aces, 3 kills, and a block, Sophie Banks with 3 aces, and one dig.

The Varsity had a commanding lead of the first match winning 25-9, they took the second set as well 25-22. They were also getting off the net faster, calling hits, and taking big swings. I’m happy tonight with their confidence to attack often. Some highlights were Tenley Davis with a Dig, Jayla Johnson 4 aces, 4 assists, and 2 kills, Ava Giese with a kill, Elyse Swanson with 2 aces, and a dig, Mattie Armstrong 5 aces, 5 assists, Maycee Randall 9 aces, 3 kills, Madellyn Bingham 4 kills, Anastasia Parker with solid serve receive and Miley Peach with 2 aces.

The win sweep was nice, but we will be tested more tonight as we face Olney who is one of our regional competitors. The game is Away starting with C team at 5:15.
