Monroe Central

6th Grade: The 6th grade lady bears beat driver middle school tonight in 2 sets. The girls came out strong tonight only allowing the opposing team to score 14 points in the first set and 15 in the second. Delainee Whitehead, Leeah Harris and Lainey Huddleston showed up ready to win tonight and helped carry their teammates on to a victory with their serves and hustle. All of these girls are greatly improving not only as a team, but as individual players as well. We are so proud of our 6th grade MC Bears! 7th Grade: The Monroe Central 7th Grade Lady Bears suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Winchester Driver Hawks in three sets (25-11, 17-25, 13-15). The Lady Bears started strong in the first set, showcasing their skills and determination. The second set was a challenge; in an attempt to get all players time, rotations were made. The team worked hard and nearly secured a win, but the momentum shift carried into the third set, making it difficult to regain control. Notable contributions came from Haidyn Knott with 3 aces, 1 assist, and 2 digs; Mati McConnell with 3 digs; Bristol Goad with 1 ace; Landry Taylor with 2 assists and 1 dig; Claire Cheesman with 1 ace and 1 kill; Izzy McGrath with 2 kills and 1 block; Callie Grove with 1 kill; Anna Wines with 1 dig; and Ashtyn Baldwin with 1 dig. Despite the setback, the team remains motivated and ready to learn from this experience as they look forward to a possible rematch with Winchester this weekend at the Driver Invitational. The Bears are excited to continue improving and giving it their all! 8th Grade: Will update when recap is received.
