The Freshman Lady Dogs had their opener. It was a nail biter but the Franklin County Wildcats came off with the win in 3 games. Scoring 10pts 4aces was Regina Gerstbauer and serving us 6pts with 3aces was Brayleigh Patterson. The girls played very sound for their first match as a team. Scores were 25-13, 19-25, and 15-13!

The Batesville JV Volleyball team fell to Franklin County in 3 games. Scores were 24-25, 25-22, 15-5. The team was competitive despite many unforced mistakes until the third game when they lost focus and morale dropped. Shelby Westerfeld led the team with 9 points serving. Katie Bedel chipped in with 8 service points. Front line and setter play was off tonight with well over a game’s worth of unforced mistakes. The girls look forward to some practice time to put in some work. Also, we will benefit from playing more cohesively in our next match. Our record is now 4-2.
Varsity saw its second EIAC victory in as many matches. Well rounded play and set selection to the hot hitters mixed with spot serving was more than the lady wildcats could return.
Their only push cam in the second set where our demons returned to work against us. We commited 9 hitting errors in the second set alone compared to the 10 combined from sets 1 & 2. Actually having multiple hitters hitting high percentages was a first in awhile and shows we are gaining momentum. #1 Bea Amberger hit .300 for the night and had 3 Blocks, while #20 Hattie Westerfeld hit .474 and had one ace.
Thursday, we have to up our game going into EC to play the undefeated Trojans. Freshmen/C-team will kick off the night @ 5:00 PM with all teams playing back, to back, to back in the main gym.
