MORAN — The second time was not the charm for Marmaton Valley Junior High Thursday.
The Wildcat volleyball team, playing Southeast-Cherokee for the second time in four days, came up on the short end of a 25-8, 25-12 setback.
“Our serving went well,” Wildcat head coach Brenda Mills said. “We just didn’t keep our serves. We played flat most of the night. We made a few good volleyball, but just couldn’t pull it together. If it could go wrong, it did.”
Addisyn Drake led with two points, while Jae Beachner, Emma Michael and Layla Cook each had one point.
“Addisyn, Layla and Andie (Carr) all had some kills,” Mills said. “We had a few bright spots.”
Marmaton Valley’s B team dropped a 25-22 and 26-24 nailbiter. Myleigh Eslick led with 10 points, followed by Reagan Marshall and Mahala Burris with five apiece, Evva Sander with four and Kaylee Burris with one.
The C team prevailed, 25-17. Eslick scored four, Bella Winner had three, Marshall and Mary Burris two each and Harlie Cook one.
“The B and C teams played well,” Mills said.
Marmaton Valley ends the season at home next Thursday against Crest.
