Lady Aces Soccer Even Record With Win At Mt. Vernon
Lady Aces Soccer Report From Coach Ed Berberich:
The MCHS Lady Aces soccer team traveled to Mt Vernon to take on the Lady Rams Tuesday night, winning 2-0. Chandler Cusick scored the first goal in the 17th minute, assisted by Flynn Guard. Guard scored a goal of her own, & the final of the game, in the 34th minute to give the Aces a bit of a cushion heading into the 2nd half. Katelyn Kline had 5 saves & a shutout in goal. The Lady Aces took 19 shots for the match, 13 on frame, had 8 chances created, took 5 corner kicks, & had 3 interceptions. The Rams took 6 shots, 1 on frame, & took 1 corner kick.
The girls really controlled the match from start to finish, possessing the ball well & creating a lot of scoring opportunities. They defended as well as they attacked, with solid defense all over the field but especially in the back line. The strong defense mostly shut down the Mt Vernon attack & denied the Rams many opportunities, with the few chances they did get not really being dangerous outside of a couple. The team's played really well to start the season & have impressed us coaches. They should be proud of the improvement they've made & of the potential they've shown.
The win brings the Lady Aces' record to 1-1 on the season. Their next match will be a rematch with Mt Vernon at noon on Saturday April 9th at the WVC soccer field.

Jr. Lady Aces Fall In Volleyball Regional Championship
From Coach Bonnie Keepes:
Last night the Jr. Lady Aces Volleyball team won the first round of the SIJHSAA regionals in a close 3 set match against Olney. We came out the first set and must of had some nerves getting to us. We just didn’t play our game and had more errors than we should. Olney won 13-25, but that’s the wonderful thing about this game you get second chances! So with a clean slate, they fired up, kicked the fear out the door, and won the second set in a nail biter 26-24. We used that momentum and stayed up in the third set winning 15-10. I was proud of how they rallied and fought back.
In the game Tenley Davis had 2 aces, an assist, and 2 digs, Jayla Johnson picked up an ace 10 assist, a dig, and 6 kills, Ava Giese an ace, a dig, and 3 kills, Elyse Swanson 4 digs, Mattie Armstrong an ace 12 assists, Maycee Randall, an ace, 10 kills, and 4 blocks, Madelyn Bingham 4 kills, Anastasia Parker a kill, Lyla Keepes 3 aces, and Evie Sellers an ace. The girls fought for this game and I was very proud of them, Olney played much more clean than the 2 previous times we beat them, it was a hard fought battle.
The girls made it to the championship match facing Carmi, who previously in the evening had taken out Flora. Carmi is a tough team that puts together a strong attack almost every single volley. The girls put up a defense and had some good volleys, but we just were not able to score as many and make it a closer game like the last time we played them. Carmi picked up everything on defense as well, and were firing on all cylinders. They were playing seamlessly and can win state with play like that. Our girls don’t need to hang their heads, I know they tried hard, we just were not winning the volleys, with only 2 kills, we were sending over free balls, trying to recover from their attacks. That’s how most of the game went. Scores were 8-25, 12-25.
Tenley had 2 digs, and a kill, Jayla Johnson an ace, an assist, and 2 digs, Ava Giese 4 digs, Elyse Swanson 2 aces, 2 digs, Mattie Armstrong an ace, and a dig, Maycee Randall a block, Madelynn Bingham, a dig, a kill, and a block, and Anastasia Parker with 2 digs. The girls took second in class L SIJHSAA tournament. They ended the season with a 10-9 record. Coach Lezlie Johnson, our helper coach Chuck Turner and I are all proud of them. They are a fun bunch, and I will miss them. I will alway follow them with whatever they choose next.

Jr. Lady Aces Wrap Up Regular Season At Carmi
From Coach Bonnie Keepes:
Tuesday night the Mt. Carmel Jr. Lady Aces faced Carmi away. We took 2 of the 3 games.
The 6th grade started off the night and won 11-25, 17-25. We are so proud of these girls! They sealed their undefeated season with a total of 15 wins, and zero losses! Awesome job! Avery Coston had 1 ace, Zoie Randall with 10 aces, an assist, Alivia Peach 4 aces, and a kill, Journey Loudermilk with 3 aces, an assist and a kill, Quincy Keepes with an ace. These girls will be a fun group to watch through the years.
The JV squad won in 2 sets 25-15, 25-23, Leah Lewis had an ace, 2 assists, 2 kills, Kinley Harris, 3 aces, and 1 kill, Kyleigh Smith, 4 aces 2 kills, Lyla Keepes 5 aces, 3 assists, 2 kills, Mercedes Dillard with 2 digs, Evie Sellers 2 kills. I hope this team comes together being more vocal, and gels more next year. They have talent, and can go far if they choose to. This group finished their season 12-5.
The Varsity match looked so much like a High School match, there were many long volleys, big swings, blocks and digs. The girls fought hard, but just had to many serve receive errors against a strong serving Carmi. We lost the match 18-25, 14-25, but I told them not to hang their heads about that match. We have improved a ton since we played them, but they have also. If we don’t get stuck with serve receive errors, we can be right there with them. It was a very fun match to watch with some great volleyball! Our stats against Carmi were Tenley Davis with 4 digs, Jayla Johnson 5 assists, a kill, Ava Giese 3 digs, and a block, Elyse Swanson 3 digs, Mattie Armstrong, 6 assists, and 2 digs, Maycee Randall 3 aces, an assist, a dig, 3 kills, and 2 blocks, Madellyn Bingham a kill, and a block, Anastasia Parker with a dig. Right now the Aces are 9-8 for the season.
Tonight at 6 they face Olney in class L of the SIJHSAA regionals. If we win the match we will go on to the championship at 7 playing the winner of the Carmi and Flora game at 5. Come watch some great Volleyball tonight! Dinner will be available to buy, we are selling pulled pork sandwiches, tacos in a bag, and lemonade shakeups.
Monday night Mt. Carmel Jr. Lady Aces faced Olney at home. The girls won all three matches. Starting first was the 6th grade team, they won 25-17, and 25-19.
