“It was our senior night and we also got to honor a fantastic group of seniors that have led us to a great deal of success. Kelsey Daugherty, Destiney Stokes, Brooklyn Arthur, Carly Miller, Bailey Lowrance, Adali Hendrix, Amelia Norris, and Mary Oberdieck. This group has been a part of historic wins and they are enjoying a fantastic season and it is a result of their hard work and character. I am super proud of this group.” – head coach Ron Crowell

“We expected a close match and it came down to the final match where Bailey Lowrance won 8-2 in singles to secure the win. Olivia McGruder played great at #1 singles and Kelsey Daugherty dominated at # 2 singles. She played great and gets better with every match. Brooklyn Arthur won 8-6 in a pivotal match. she closed that match out by playing some of her best tennis of the season and came from behind to win. We won despite losing 2 heartbreaking matches in doubles. We lost a hardfought tiebreaker at #1 doubles and a tough 7-9 match at #2 doubles. Carly Miller and Brooklyn Arthur dominated at #3 doubles which was a huge win for us. There was no quit in this team and they bounced back in singles to win 4 out of 6 matches to secure the win.” – Crowell

“Our freshman did a nice job all the way around from serving to defending and then transitioning into the offense.  Our freshman middles had a nice night at the net with both Lily Bradbury and Maeli Hendrix earning 18 kills together.  Many times our middles are the first to be taken out of the offense, but for our two middles to earn that many kills our passers had to be doing a great job delivering a solid pass. They are currently 13-4-1 on the season.

The JV team won in two sets and they did a nice job serving the ball aggressively giving themselves opportunities to receive balls over the net that they were easily able to transition into our offense.  Our JV setters Baylyn Williams and Addi Dent are doing a nice job working with all of the hitters and helping them to find ways to be successful offensively. They are currently 13-3-3 on the season.  

Very proud of our varsity team’s effort tonight. As a whole, we serve-received the ball well which is so important in setting up a first ball aggressive attack. Addy Rebmann, Saylor Helton, & Addy Collins did a very nice job giving us great opportunity right from the get-go.  We weren’t in serve-receive long, which is good giving us control with the serve.  Saylor Helton had a fantastic night behind her serve earning 4 aces and pulling Willard out-of-system for quite a few more.  Both of our outsides, Saylor Helton (10)  & Addy Rebmann (18) were fire on the outsides tonight.  They led our team in hitting but also had solid hitting percentages to back up their kills.  Raylee Quick, Ciaria Keeney, Kaidynce Buttram & Morgan Durbin also added 4-6 kills of their own which is always nice when the offense is spread and we are seeing kills from all positions on the court.  Addy Collins led us in digs with 18 and Morgan Durbin assisted with 16 of her own.  The two of them work together well as when setter Morgan has to dig the first ball, Addy C is there to deliver a highly attackable ball to our hitters.” – Jenny Collins
