Volleyball team travels to Chattanooga
|
This past weekend Warren County went to the Chattanooga Choo Choo play-day with five games on tap. The Lady Pioneers fell to Farragut and Hixson 1-2, defeated Cleveland 2-0 and split with Dobyns Bennett and Bradley County 1-1.
Coach Franklin Fisher is pleased with his teams progress but admits there’s still several things to work on.
“Going to Chatt-anooga is always a great opportunity for us as we have the chance to play against some of the top teams in the state,” Fisher said. “We have to still work on our ability to focus and learn to have the desire to play the entire game.
“Our progress has been steady, with Alysa Lankford and Ashley Malone doing a good job at the net in the last three matches. Brittany Frazier and Mary Kate Fisher have made progress at directing our team from the setter position and McKenna Rhea show a lot of versatility against Cleveland and Bradley County. Bethany King and Amy Hutton did a good job in the backcourt getting the pass to our setters and getting our offense going.”
Last Tuesday the Lady Pioneers took on Chattanooga School of Arts and Sciences, which is coached by McMinnville native Brandon Lowry. Warren County won 25-22, 25-19 and 25-20 as coach Fisher was pleased with his teams quickness at the net.
“We have been working on a quicker offense at the net with shoot set and slides and we ran it pretty well,” Fisher stated.
“Our serving was off and we had problems from the service line for most of the day. I was impressed with the progress CSAS has made over the past year, which shows coach Lowry has done a tremendous job of preparing his team.”
The Lady Pioneers will open their season at home on Monday against Tullahoma and Franklin County.
