LADY ROCKETS LIFTOFF AGAINST MOONEY

/in /by

BELOIT, OH-  The Cardinal Mooney Volleyball team’s season came to an end on Thursday night with a 4 set loss to Streetsboro in the West Branch sectional final (25-16 13-25 16-25 21-25)

In the first set, the Cardinals came out aggressive and efficient. Katie Hough showed right away that she’d be a force to be reckoned with rallying 5 kills in the set. Mooney only committed 2 attack errors in the set and hit .313 in the set.

The second and third sets were a completely different story as Mooney could not get any consistent offensive flow. They hit in the negative for both sets which is a big reason why they fell in those sets 13-25 and 16-25. Hough stayed strong however tallying 7 more kills in those two sets, even after briefly exiting the match with a bloody nose and switching jerseys.

In set 4 Mooney tried to get some rhythm back in their offense by letting Marissa Landers set and putting usual setter Sydney Reider in a defensive specialist position. And it worked. Mooney got their attack percentage back into the positives. They also were able to get middle blocker Megan Petty back involved who didn’t collect a kill in sets 2 or 3. She had a stretch of 3 consecutive kills and a block to put Mooney up 13-10. But Streetsboro at this point had too much momentum and was just clicking on offense. They played clean and collected through Mooney’s improved play and took set 4 21-25.

Katie Hough recorded a double-double with 16 kills and 10 digs. Sydney Reider closed out her career with a double-double with 20 assists and 11 digs. Marissa Landers also recorded a double-double with 11 assists and 10 digs. Megan Petty had 10 kills 5 blocks and 4 digs. Caitlyn Sapp had 10 digs.

LADY BULLDOGS BOUNCE RAIDERS

/in /by

SALEM, OH- The South Range volleyball team’s season came to an end Tuesday night with a 4 set loss to East Palestine (25-17 17-25 23-25 21-25)

In the first set it appeared the Raiders had control of the match, all their servers were hitting their spots and East Palestine was getting very little offense back over. Senior Jenna Barbessi made her presence felt early tallying 5 kills in set 1, and the Raiders hit .219 in the set with 12 kills total.

In the second set however, the Bulldogs really turned up their defense. They forced the Raiders into more and more empty attacks, and that in turn lead to Raider attack errors starting to pop up. The Raiders who had just 4 attack errors in set 1 surrendered 9 of them in set 2 along with 5 service errors. The Bulldogs took set 2 17-25.

Set 3 was the most competitive one of the night. The Raiders jumped out to a strong 12-6 lead the Palestine fought back and eventually got it to a tie set at 17-17. Still tied at 22-22 the Bulldogs came up with some clutch plays to close out set 3 23-25.

The Bulldogs got a massive lead in set 4, as it seemed all the wheels had fallen off for the Raiders. Trailing 10-23 the Raiders went on a 7-0 run to make it 17-23, and then fought off another 3 match points to make it 20-24 and force a Bulldog timeout. The Raiders got another point out of the timeout but then sent a serve long to deal East Palestine’s victory 21-25.

Jenna Barbessi did everything she could to prevent this being her last game with a season high 17 kills and 4 digs. Anna Primavera added 10 kills and 5 digs and Abby George finished with 6 kills 4 blocks and 3 digs. Emily Irons had 21 assists on the night, while Drew Ferren had 13 assists and 10 digs, recording a double double. Barbessi hit .289 on the night and Primavera hit .130. Even with those numbers the Raiders only hit .078 as a team.

The Raiders close the season at 11-12 (8-6) Mary Kuhns shattered the digs in a season record that was previously 430 with 528 digs on the season. She also tied the digs in a match record with 47. Mary was named 2nd team all district. Anna Primavera tied the aces in a match record with 9, and finished with a team high 248 kills on the season.

If you’re born with the last name like Irons, you better be able to handle some heat.  For South Range Junior, Emily Irons, she is battle-tested and has continued to be the spark that starts the fire for the Lady Raiders.  Irons actually leads the team in hitting percentage, which means she has the most kills with the least errors.

A savvy veteran who makes the most of her athletic ability, but reads the defense like it’s a line from a Dr. Seuss novel.

The athletic ability is earned, and God-given.  Both Emily’s parents were exceptional athletes, her older brother is a leader on the basketball court, and her younger sister shares the volleyball court with her this year.  For Emily, she has the ability and the determination to keep raising the bar for the family name.  Oh, by the way…Emily plays a sport each and every season.

Our Anthony Hartwig sat down with Emily to discuss the year, as well as plans on and off the court.  The South Range Player Profile is: IRONS SHARPENS IRONS
