CANEY — Humboldt Middle School’s volleyball team swept their way to victory here Thursday.
Lady Cub head coach Darcie Croisant noted her players started slowly, following a long bus ride to Caney, but picked up their play quickly enough to cruise to win in A, B and C team action.
The Lady Cubs A team swept host Caney Valley, 25-21 and 25-13.
Shelby Shaughnessy has continued to develop her skills at the net, leading Humboldt with five kills, many off of Skylar Hottenstein assists. Gracie Dillow and Chanlynn Wrestler led the team with four aces apiece. Hottenstein set up both game-winners with assists.
“I’m one proud coach,” Croisant said. “These ladies continue to work hard for excellence on and off the court and improve every week we have played.”
The Humboldt B team won, 25-15 and 25-20.
Carsyn Galloway, Sophie Barlow, and Cassidy Friend led with three aces apiece. Sophie Barlow and Cassidy Friend led the net game with several key spikes.
“This team struggled some with communication tonight, however, they played some amazing volleyball and ended the night with the win,” Croisant said.
Completing the Lady Cub trifecta was the C team, 25-15 and 25-17.
Cassidy Friend racked up nine service points in the first set. Rylee Woods’ serving led the way in the finishing set.
“These ladies played very well tonight,” Croisant said. “They continue to improve and work together to win.”
