Lady Pioneers take part in playday
The Warren County Lady Pioneer volleyball team traveled to Chattanooga on Saturday for a playday featuring several outstanding teams from the midstate area.
Head coach Franklin Fisher took his team up against Hickson County in their first scrimmage of the season, and was pleased with the results.
?We looked pretty good against Hickson County, this was the first time this year we have played anybody and we did several good things. The girls passed the ball well and we played our positions just like we practiced on for the last two weeks,? he said.
The Lady Pioneers faced Grundy County in their next match, and split with them. Chattanooga Baylor was next for WCHS and a few mental mistakes and some sprayed passes proved to be costly for the Lady Pioneers.
Soddy-Daisy, who made it to the Substate last year, came up next and provided a tough test for Fisher?s squad.
?Soddy-Daisy always has an outstanding team, and at times we looked good. Then there were times we just couldn?t get the job done,? Fisher remarked.
The Lady Pioneers closed out their day against a familiar foe, taking one game in their match against District 7-AAA members Cookeville.
?We played some good ball against the Lady Cavaliers, but we still have a long ways to go,? Fisher said. ?We have the physical abilty to play with anybody, the girls just haven?t found that mental toughness you have to have to be a consistent winner.
?Volleyball is a game that you have to stay pumped up all the time, espacilly when your using the rally scoring system. The girls have worked hard this summer and have improved on their skills and like I said we are able to play with anybody. We just have to believe we can win.?
The Lady Pioneers? season begins Monday at home against Mt. Juliet Christian.
