From Coach Shelly Prickel:
The BMS 8th Grade Volleyball team battled Greensburg in two closely contested sets falling just short 22-25 and 25-27. The Lady Dogs could not maintain any significant service runs but battled for many sideouts to keep the games close. The leading server was Carly Blanton who scored 9 points over the 2 sets while connecting on all 12 of her serves. Setters Lydia Niese and Miki Gutzwiller each chipped in with 3 points.
The Bulldogs will work on improving their offensive attack in the coming games. The front line vs. Greensburg was led by Maci Smith with 3 kills. Breauna Broshears, Izzy Dierckman, and Kiersten Luers each contributed a kill at the net. Stay positive, ladies!
