HARTFORD — The Southern Coffey County High School volleyball team split a pair of matchups with Hartford and Lebo on Tuesday in a mid-week tilt.
The Titans (14-6; 1-1) took their first match over Hartford fairly easily with set scores of 25-10 and 25-8.
Ross Snovelle helped lead SCC defense with eight kills, followed by Josie Weers’ seven kills and Madeline Spencer’s six kills. Weers also led from the serving line with four aces while Spencer knocked two aces.
Karley Ohl, Kennedy Gunlock and Snovelle each went a perfect 100% from the serving line as Weers and Spencer each served 93% from the line in the win.
Weers and Spencer also dominated on defense, making three digs apiece while each also averaged 1.5 digs per set.
“We played well in the first match against Hartford. We were able to set up and kill a lot of balls and also pass the ball well,” said Southern Coffey County head coach Jeff True.
Southern Coffey County dropped their second matchup with Lebo in two sets, 23-25 and 13-25.
The first set saw the Titans claw back into the match but come up just two points short. Southern Coffey’s passing was off in the second set and the team went on dry streaks to allow Lebo to take a larger lead.
“We made a really nice push against them in the first set, but in the second set, we didn’t pass the ball well, which allowed them to make a couple of good runs from which we couldn’t recover,” True said.
Weers led offensively with nine kills while Snovelle registered five kills and Spencer knocked four kills. At the serving line, Spencer tallied the lone ace serve of the match and went 90% on serves. Kyla Houston, Jalea True, Weers and Ohl each went a perfect 100% from the serving line.
Weers led with two blocks, followed by Snovelle’s lone block defensively. Spencer, Weers and Snovelle also each notched four digs in the loss.
“All in all it wasn’t a bad night, we just need to continue working on being good consistent passers. I love the effort that this team is giving,” said True.
Southern Coffey County will travel to Oswego on Thursday.
