From Coach Bonnie Keepes:

Last night the girls traveled to Carmi. The 6th grade team faired well, playing the Carmi 7th grade B team. They lost the first set 15-25 won the second 25-17, but lost the match in the final set 5-15. 

Highlights are Opal Earnest with 5 aces, Jersey Mounts a kill,  Annie Kanipe with 2 aces, Josie James 1 assist, Haleigh Prosise 1 ace, Peyton King 1 kill, Hannah Lewis 1 ace, Erin Delong 1 ace. 

The 7th grade team took a big win! Tonight was the best they have played. They missed very few serves, were transitioning off the net well and attacking  with more confidence. They took the first set 25-14, and the second 25-11. 

The takeaways were Alivia Peach 2 aces, Journey Loudermilk 1 ace, 1 kill, Quincy Keepes 4 aces, 2 assist, Avery Coston 2 kills, Zoie Randall 1 ace, 1 kill, Bayley Andrews 2 Assists, Stella Woodcock 1 ace, Ryleigh Gill 1 dig.

The 8th grade team started a bit slow again. Once we cleaned up our hitting errors, and started picking up their sporadic free balls, we were able to get in a groove, and there was no turning back.  They took both sets 25-19, 25-9.

For the Stats Lyla Keepes 1 aces, 2 kills, Kyleigh Smith 1 ace, 4 kills, 2 blocks, Evie Sellers 1 ace, 1 block, Riley Hershey 3 aces, 1 kill, Kinley Harris 6 aces, 4 assists, Leah Lewis 3 aces, 1 assists.

It’s a was a great night to be an Ace! This Saturday the 7th and 8th head to the Albion tournament. The 7th will play in the morning and the 8th in the afternoon.
