‘McKinley started at setter along with Frazier, and did a solid job as a freshman,’ said coach Franklin Fisher. ‘We had several girls to step up and do a nice job tonight.’
On Saturday the volleyball team traveled to Sparta for the White County tournament.
Warren County worked its way into the bronze division semifinals after falling to White County, Gallatin and Stone Memorial in pool play on Friday.
The Lady Pioneers lost to Mount Juliet and St. Cecilia and then defeated Smith County 25-18, 25-16. In their final game Warren County fell to St. Cecilia, 17-25, 22-25, but the loss proved to be even more devastating when the team’s starting setter, Fisher, went down with an ankle injury in the Mt. Juliet matchup.
‘Friday night was a struggle, but we bounced back on Saturday with some good aggressive play,’ said coach Fisher. ‘After losing Mary Kate, Tessa King came in and helped us at setter. Krystal Lambert came in and did a nice job at the net on blocks and kills.’
During the tournament, Frazier came up with 24 assists, with Fisher adding 15 and King tallying six. Malone had 14 kills with Frazier putting down 22 shots and Lambert had 13. Frazier served up 12 aces, while Fisher had nine and Kathryn McKinley had five.

‘We started off a little slow, but the team recovered nicely,’ stated Fisher. ‘Frazier came through from the service line in the last two games with a total of 19 points. Rachel Walker, Malone and Amy Hutton came up with some big digs all night long.’
The Lady Pioneers were scheduled to take on Siegel at home on Tuesday in district action.
