WCHS volleyball falls short against Grundy County
On Monday the Warren County High School volleyball team took a trip up the mountain to take on 17-3 Grundy County. The Lady Pioneers gave Grundy a scare as they took the Lady Eagles to a three game match.
In the first game Warren County started a little slow and had a few problems getting the ball in play. Coach Fisher stayed with his 5-1 offensive set which he put into place last Friday. Grundy showed their power and experience in the first game as they held the Lady Pioneers to four points taking the game 15-4.
In the second game Warren County turned things around and out played the Lady Eagles with hustle and strong serving. Courtney Martin moved to the middle blocker position since is out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury. Martin adjusted to the new position and helped shut the Grundy attack down. The Lady Pioneers picked up the win 15-12.
In the third and deciding game Warren County played the Lady Eagles like a seasoned team. Both teams played aggressive at the net and good movement by the Lady Pioneers pushed the game to a 11-11 tie. Warren County showed leadership on the court and pushed the Lady Eagles to the edge. Grundy narrowly escaped the improving Lady Pioneers 15-13 to take the match.
“We played an excellent two games tonight. The girls have adjusted to the 5-1 offense and it seems to be working very well for us. Their still not winning the close games but now their starting to understand they can win. I’m very proud of our effort over the last week and we just have to keep ourselves from making those mental errors that have hurt us all year,” said coach Fisher.
