PEABODY — Yates Center High School volleyball split its pair of matches at Peabody on Monday.
The day began for the Wildcats beating Peabody in two sets, 25-21 and 25-20 before dropping two sets against Marais des Cygnes Valley, 25-15 and 25-21.
“I was very proud of how the girls have come together and played through adversity and injuries,” said Yates Center volleyball head coach Carrie Cummings.
Yates Center is dealing with injuries and was forced to put players in new positions, Cummings said.
Addison Morrison started at the setter position in place of Lauren McConaghie who is recovering from a knee injury.
Grace Westerman and Kamdyn Trahan blocked some shots as well as notching some touches for digs in the pair of games, she said.
The outside hitter position was manned by Peyton Petit, Rylie Smith and Kinley Morrison as they all improved on back row defense against Peabody and MdCV.
“Molly continues to be the glue that holds the team together with her consistency and hard work. Callyn Miller also continues to show why she is the libero for us this year. We will work hard this week on our attacking efficiency to get ready for this weekend’s tourney in Humboldt,” said Cummings.
Yates Center will compete at the Humboldt Invitational Saturday, starting at 8:30 a.m.
