MORAN — The Crest High volleyball team swept their competition at Marmaton Valley on Tuesday night.

“There’s a chance to tie last year’s record for the most wins in school history and they’re really playing for each other,” Crest head coach Abigail Hermreck said. “It’s fun for our school because Crest’s girls sports team have not had a lot of success the past few years and all of the sudden we’re having success. We’ve got to keep pushing forward.”

Kaelin Nilges registered a team-high 10 points in the first set for the Lancers and Brooklynn Jones had a team-high 14 points in the second set.
“During practice this week we know the postseason is coming up so our focus is to win and not just rely on the other team to make mistakes. We’re going to focus on what works. We want to win on our side and not rely on the other team.”
