The Lady Neers couldn’t overcome injury, illness and a
hungry Scott Eagle team tonight as the team went down in straight sets on the
road by scores of 25-19, 25-21 and 25-18.
The jumbled line-up looked very strong at times but the ability to
finish plagued the team as it has so many times this season.
Key stats for the night: Haley Robinson with 6 kills, Amarah Nicholson with 5 kills and 7 blocks, Sarah Sergent with 22 assists and Carson Elliott wearing the libero jersey with 13 digs.

I’m not sure what it is-whether the girls are too nice or
they just tense up when the game gets down to crunch-time. Whatever it is, I think I came up with the
answer tonight. Last Friday night at the
football game, I was standing just yards
away from the SK defensive line as they had New Cath backed up deep into their
own territory. It was almost frightening
at times as that line was not going to let New Cath get a single yard. I heard crunching moaning as the Neer line
pummelled the offensive line of New Cath.
The old sports cliché of stepping on their neck was about as accurate as
it could be. With that said, I ran into
Coach Marksberry tonight at the UDF gas pumps.
I told him to send the D-line to a volleyball practice to teach them
some of that killer instinct I saw the other night…he just chuckled.
Things ratchet up another level as the team travels to Park
Hills to play the Pandas on Thursday night.
SK played NDA tough last year at
the Joe.
