The MCHS Varsity Volleyball team hosted Marshall Thursday night for the opening of conference play. The lady Aces won in convincing fashion the first set 25-12.
The second we had more errors starting out, but caught momentum toward the end with aggressive serving winning 25-18. Stats were Sarah McCorkle, 2 aces , 7 digs, 1 kill, 1 block, 16 assists, Madi Stevens 10 digs, 7 kills, 1 assist, Jayla Johnson 5 digs, 2 kills, Maycee Randall, 3 digs, 2 block kills, 3 kills, Kyleigh Smith 3 kills, 1 block, Lyla Keepes, 4 aces, 4 digs 4 kills, Tenley Davis 2 ace, 13 digs.
A special presentation was made to Sarah McCorkle for surpassing her 1,000 career assist. Starting with her sophomore year she had 314, 503 junior, 201 senior and currently at 1,018
She joins the 1,000 assist club with my niece Kassidy Drone who graduated in 2020 with 1,494 assists.
The JV team started out with too many attacking errors, but were able to seal the first set 25-17 with aggressive serving. The second set we dropped 18-25 with multiple attacks out the back and in the net. The 3rd set the ladies won 15-7. Cleaning up their high error rate made all the difference.
Player stats Kinley Harris 6 digs, 13 assists, Leah Lewis 5 aces, 15 digs, 3 kills, Gracee Haggard 4 digs, 4 kills, Mercedes Dillard 7 aces, 7 digs, Avery Coston 3 digs, 4 kills, Zoie Randall 4 kills, Alivia Peach 9 digs, 1 kill, Mylee Farmer 7 digs, 1 assists, Leila Sweeney 1 ace, 8 digs, 1 kill, 1 assist, Kate Andrews 1 dig, 1 kill.
The lady Aces will have the weekend off and travel to Cisne Monday for JV and Varsity matches.
