SPARTANS SURVIVE AND ADVANCE

/in /by

BOARDMAN OH- It took everything they had, but the Spartans came back from the brink to beat Aurora in five sets, and give head coach Alyssa Birch her first career tournament win.

Aurora came out swinging. They definitely looked better than a 20 seed. They won back to back tight sets using clutch serving, and a spread out attack. Boardman helped them out with a few errors here and there, but all in all it was a pretty clean two sets of volleyball. The Lady Greenmen were just getting the big plays.

Boardman seems to become a different team with their backs against the wall. After losing two sets to the score of 23-25, the Spartans came out with even more energy. They dominated sets three and four to force a decisive set five.

That set five was much like the first two sets, back and forth each team grabbing some momentum. Aurora jumped out to a 6-3 lead, to which the Spartans responded with a 7-0 run to go up 10-6. The Spartans then saw that lead dwindle as Aurora tied the set up at 10. Boardman had the last laugh as they finished off a nail biter 15-13 with a Maria Torres kill.

Boardman was led by Torres who had an impressive 18 kills. Katie Stamp added 16 kills to the Boardman attack. Kathryn O’Horo stepped into the libero position tonight and led the defense with 24 digs. Torres completed a double double with 15, Stamp did the same collecting 14 digs. Raegan Burkey ran the offense to perfection. She set up 44 assists on the night.

Boardman advances and will now travel to face 10 seeded Lakeside for the sectional championship on Thursday at 6:00.

STAMP OF APPROVAL

/in /by

BOARDMAN OH- The Boardman Spartans bring one of the more experienced teams in the area into the 2020 season. There are seven seniors on the squad. One of the premiere seniors on the team is Katie Stamp. Katie has been a staple to the Spartans attack for quite some time. She brings power and versatility to the middle of the Spartans rotation. Stamp is a player that has to land near the top of every opponent’s scouting report. She is a technically sound blocker that also moves particularly well as a hitter.

Stamp comes into her senior year knowing that all the younger players will be looking to her and the other seniors for leadership and examples. She doesn’t take that position lightly, she says that knowing that players look up to her keeps her motivated to work hard and do things the right way. Her confidence as a hitter as grown so much since her freshman season. Now, her confidence oozes through every minute she spends on the court.

Katie has tallied 483 kills so far in her career. Those kills are in 225 sets played. She has been very efficient in her career as a hitter, sitting with a hitting percentage of .306. She averages 2.1 kills per set, and has also recorded 60 blocks in her career.

Katie was kind enough to take the time to talk to YSN’s Anthony Hartwig. They discuss going through the uncertainty of summer, Katie’s role as a leader, and much more. Spartan fans wont want to miss this inside look into the volleyball program with the latest player profile, Stamp of Approval.

SPARTANS SHOCK CANFIELD IN DRAMATIC COMEBACK

/in /by

BOARDMAN OH- Aftr two sets on Thursday night against Canfield, Boardman looked dead in the water. That was simply not the case, as the Spartans clawed all the way back from down 2-0 to win in five sets (17-25 17-25 25-11 28-26 15-13).

The Spartans opened the match with a 4-1 lead, and watched the Cardinals rattle off 10 points in a row to take control of the set. Boardman made some runs to get within 3 or 4 but couldn’t make the next step.

The second set had the same story. Canfield kept the Spartans at bay. Every little spurt Boardman would have would be answered by a punch back from the Cardinals. They won sets one and two by the same score 25-17.

Boardman did not let the 2-0 deficit stop their aggressiveness. They jumped out of a cannon in set three to take a 15-3 lead. They took advantage of the Cardinals going on cruise control for a spell. By the time Canfield woke up it was much too late to stop Boardman’s momentum and the Spartans dominated set three 25-11.

Set four was the most competitive. Boardman has all the momentum, but Canfield was awake, and swung well. It was a battle of the middles, as Katie Stamp, and Maria Torres traded blows with Grace Rosko and Erin Chaplow. The Spartans held off three match points down the stretch at 24-23, 25-24, and 26-25. They’d go on to force a fifth and decisive set with a 28-26 victory in set four.

Boardman managed to grab a 14-10 lead in set five to have match point. Canfield fought back to make it 14-13, and just point away from pushing the set past 15. Enter Torres as the Spartan middle ended the match with a kill.

Torres notched a fantastic night with 23 kills and 8 blocks. Katie Stamp and Jenna Olexa both had 9 kills and 20 digs. Raegan Burkey collected 34 assists.

The Spartans will host South Range on Monday. Canfield will have to travel to regroup as they go all the way to Chagrin Falls to play Kenston on Monday.

 

SPARTANS SURVIVE RAIDER RALLY

The South Range Volleyball team dropped a thrilling five set match to Boardman Wednesday night. (25-18 13-25 21-25 25-20 5-15)

The Raiders got out to a strong start in set 1 with their best hitting percentage of the night at .241. South Range also was strong at the net collecting 7 blocks in the set. They won the set 25-18.

Boardman retaliated with their strongest set of the match. Using the powerful tandem of Katie Stamp and Kennedy Paige the Spartans rolled in set two. 25-13.

The third set was more of the same story with the Spartans using their advantage at the middle block to dominate. The Raiders really helped out in the set hitting -.031. Despite their hitting struggles, the Raiders managed to claw back in the set late before eventually dropping it 25-21.

The Raiders used the momentum gained at the end of set three to get out on the right foot in set four. After being held without a kill for two straight sets Anna Primavera found success gathering 4 kills in the set. The Raiders hit .125 as a team which was an improvement from the previous set. The Spartans showed toughness, however, turning a 20-14 Raider lead into a 22-20 lead. Izzy Lamparty got a big kill from the middle to get the Raiders back the ball and they never looked back, taking set four 25-20.

The first four points of the decisive set five went back and forth leaving the teams deadlocked. A controversial call went Boardmam’s way and the momentum gained from that let them go on a 7-0 run. Their net defense kept the Raiders offense in check and fittingly the final point of the match was a block by Stamp.

The Raiders have their best defensive match of the season gathering 50 digs as a team. Reagan Irons lead in that category with 14, Anna Primavera was right behind her with 13. The Raiders have 3 players with 7 kills, Anna Primavera, Izzy Lamparty, and Abby George. Emily Irons gathered 28 assists, 12 digs, and a kill.
