The Lady Golden Bears Junior Varsity and Varsity volleyball squads traveled last night to take on the Royals of Eastern Hancock. Our Varsity team was matched up against a very strong Royals Varsity Squad. Our Bears didn't let that change their focus and they actually had some of the strongest competing plays that have been witnessed this season. For the first time this season the entire team had a great mental effort while on the floor. You could truly see some of the defensive work they've been doing starting to shine through with several competitive rallys that occurred throughout the match. Final scores for this match were 15-25, 17-25, 11-25. Junior Angie Burress went out on the court tonight determined to focus on her overall defensive game and work to read proper positioning. She contributed 1 ace, 12 receptions, and 6 digs to the team totals. Angie's defensive game is showing notable improvements this season. Some other stats to note were from Junior Shyan Bennett with 2 kills, 22 receptions, and 1 dig along with Freshman Bentley Pegg contributing 4 kills, 6 receptions, and 4 digs. Our Varsity Golden Bears travel tomorrow (9/21/24) to the Panther Invite hosted by Knightstown. Our first match starts at 9:00 am.
