The Warren County High School volleyball team split its pair of road matches this week.

On Tuesday the Lady Pioneers fell to Riverdale 25-17, 25-23 and 25-27 in District 7-AAA action. Warren County was at Tullahoma on Monday and defeated the Lady Wildcats 25-20, 25-14, 20-25, 25-17.

Brittany Frazier led the team in kills against Riverdale with 12. Mary Kate Fisher had five kills and eight assists. Ashlee Malone and Lori Pepper had two kills each. Fisher added three blocks on the day.

‘We had an off night from the service line,’ said coach Franklin Fisher.

‘Serving and passing determines the outcome of the game and we didn’t do that very well tonight. Riverdale is much improved from last year, we were not mentally ready to play.’

Against Tullahoma, Fisher had 14 assists, while Frazier had 13. Fisher had 12 kills, Frazier added to, Malone and Linnsay Williamson had seven kills each. Kathryn McKinley had seven aces on the night and Williamson had two.

‘We looked a little sluggish against Tullahoma, but we came up with the win. I’m proud of the way they fought back through some pain and discomfort,’ Fisher said. ‘We have a couple of players a little banged up right now, but it didn’t stop them.’
