Lady Pioneers Take Silver Division at Bluegrass Invitational V-ball Tourney

The Pioneers persevered through a tough opening day of matches losing against Lafayette (13-25); (13 – 24), and Loan Oak (23-25); (20-25); however, they finally hit their stride and won against Woodford County in three games (25-19); (21-25); (15-12).


The Lady Neers held their steady pace of play on day two going undefeated against South Laurel (25-16); (25-14) and Allen Central (25-22); (25-22) with Sophie Dunn winning the game point by tricking the other team with a set over net. The Neers beat Ashland (25-22); (25-16) with Haley Robinson hitting an ace to win the game point.

Silver Tournament Play was against Cooper High School. SK and Cooper were both first in their pool plays. In the first game Coach Atwood got her girls fired up when she got a yellow card for disputing a bad call. SK ended up winning the Silver trophy by beating Cooper (25-20) and (25-21). The trophy was a nice present for our girls celebrating birthdays – Nicole Kloeker, Carly Caverly and Samantha Duncan.

SK ended up 5-2 for the weekend and moves their season record to 7-3.
