Hello 8th Region!


Alright, I’m back from Motown and Mustang Alley ready again for some v-ball action.  As you probably know, the Lady Neers were moved to the 32nd District and 8th Region for volleyball this year.  They took to the road for their first taste of their new District and Region for a short drive across Route 16 to a match with the Bearcats of Walton Verona. 

The Frosh and JV teams kind of set the tone for the night; that is, they dug a hole that they needed to bale out of.  I wasn’t there for the Frosh match but they went three long tough games before eeking out the win.  Kahlee Fuehner with 4 kills and 1 block, Anna Cully notched 6 kills and Sarah Sergent returned to action following  a shoulder injury to log 11 assists.  Sarah Meyer served 8 points in a row in the 3rd game to take the match win for SK.  The JV team was able to win in two sets without need for the third but really didn’t get any kinds of momentum going that would carry over to the varsity game. 

The varsity girls took to the floor and for whatever reason, just seemed a bit tentative; almost nervous like.  They would get a nice run going but then would break prosperity allowing Walton to sneak back in the match.  The girls played just good enough to win and as they say in the world of sports; a win is a win.  Kaitlin Murray, supported by faces in the crowd, had 10 kills - 3 blocks - 4 aces- 7 digs; Haley Robinson had 7 kills - 4 blocks - 4 aces, Samantha Eudy had 8 kills -5 digs, Sophie Dunn had a whopping 29 assists and Kelsey Henderson had 7 digs.

The girls will take on another 32nd District opponent as they travel to Williamstown. 

Pioneer Family; Ava taking in her first game; guess we know her favorite sport.
