UNIONTOWN — The Crest High School volleyball team took home second place at the Uniontown tournament Saturday.
The tournament began for the Lady Lancers (24-6) with a victory over Northeast Arma, 25-16 and 25-20.
Crest then took care of Kansas City Christian in two sets, 25-8 and 25-20.
The Lady Lancers lost to Southern Coffey County in their final matchup of the tournament in three sets, 25-22, 24-26 and 25-14.
“Overall, it was a pretty good day of volleyball,” said Crest head coach Abigail Hermreck. “Obviously we would have liked to come home with gold. We have to maintain our level of determination and play relaxed against good teams every set.”
Crest’s McKenna Hammond led at the serving line with five aces. Hermreck 16 kills, 40 digs, four blocks and served 38-of-40 balls successfully. Kayla Hermreck led with 52 kills, made six blocks and 22 digs and hit two ace serves.
Lady Lancer Kinley Edgerton led her team with 36 assists while also registering four kills, three ace serves, 10 digs and one block. Edgerton also went 22-of-24 from the serving line. Karlee Boots led Crest with 45 digs defensively and made eight kills and three ace serves.
Delaney Ramsey led the way from the serving line as well, going 96% on serves on 22-of-23 from the line with three aces. She also knocked two kills, three assists and 11 digs.
“We will continue to work hard in practice and have a positive week of volleyball,” said Coach Hermreck. “Our record is currently tied with the best volleyball record in school history back in 1988 when my assistant coach, Tisha Hugg, was the head coach.”
Crest’s Allyssa Adams ripped one kill, one ace serve and 15 digs. Kamryn Luedke had two digs, seven assists and went 29-of-31 from the serving line with 11 digs. Brooklyn Jones hit 16 digs and Kaelin Nilges went three-of-three from the serving line with one dig.
