2004 roster filled for WC volleyball
The Warren County High School volleyball team held tryouts last Monday with a total of 30 players vying for a spot on the 2004 team. Head coach Franklin Fisher held the one-day tryout in the auxiliary gym at WCHS.
Coach Fisher graded the girls on passing, setting, hitting and their ability to serve. The team will have to rely on one senior this season in Karen Marlowe. The Lady Pioneers loss four seniors to graduation — Amanda Goad, Kendra Savage, Courtney Martin and Candace Stubblefield.
The nucleus of this year’s team will be built around six juniors, and coach Fisher is hoping the freshman class will step up and get the job done.
“It’s going to be hard to replace the seniors we lost,” he said. “There were three all-district’s in that group and this years team will have to work hard to achieve success.
“The juniors (Heather Frazier, Alysa Lankford, McKenna Rhea, Kara Yougblood and Bethany King) have a lot of experience, and with the addition of solid freshman class that saw great success at the middle school we should have a very competitive team.”
Fisher has a few concerns, but feels his outside hitters should be a strong point this season.
“At setter we will be lacking experience with the loss of Stubblefield. But freshman Mary Kate Fisher is going to see a lot of time at that position,” he said. “Blocking and hitting should be solid with Lankford, Rhea and Marlowe and if Destiny Reedy recovers from an ankle injury she will be a force in the middle.”
The Lady Pioneers will open their season on the road Aug. 24 against Tullahoma.
“The season is just around the corner and beginning the second week of July the team will start conditioning and working for our season opener,” Fisher said.
