From Coach Bonnie Keepes :

The 8th team found they needed to be more disciplined on defense. We weren’t making it to our spots leading to missed pickups. I think we came out a little complacent due to winning so big the last time we faced Olney. The Olney team did step up their play. We were able to push through, and had some big serving runs by Kinley Harris. We won both sets 25-15, 25-19. 

The takeaways were Lyla Keepes 6 aces, 1 dig, Kyleigh Smith 1 ace, 3 kills, 2 blocks, Evie Sellers 1 ace, 3 kills, 1 block, Riley Hershey 2 aces, 1 kill, Kinley Harris 8 aces, 4 assists, Leah Lewis 1 ace, 2 assists, Mylee Farmer 1 dig, 1 kill. Mercedes Dillard 1 dig, Mylee Farmer 1 dig, Madison Riggs 1 block. 

The 7th grade girls played very well last night. They were serving and attacking aggressively. They were also scrappy on defense. They came up with big wins both sets 25-9, 25-11.

The 6th grade team almost came back at the end, but dropped the first set against Olney 22-25. The second group was able to pick it up and take the second set 25-19. 

Some stats to share are Opal Earnest with 4 aces, Macy Glenn 4 aces, Jersey Mounts 1 ace, 2 kill, Annie Kanipe 1 dig, Haleigh Prosise 2 aces, 1 kill, Peyton Simpson 1 ace. 

Highlights were Alivia Peach had 4 aces, 2 kills, Journey Loudermilk 11 aces, 3 kills, Quincy Keepes 2 aces, 6 assists, 2 kills Zoie Randall 2 aces, 2 kills, 1 dig, Addison Mobley 1 dig, Ella Turner 1 ace,

Our next game will be tonight Thursday the 23rd Away against Flora. 6th grade starting at 5:15, 7th and 8th to follow.
