SK Bests Walton in Verona

The Lady Neers took to the road the last two nights for 32nd District action. The team got some confidence going last night following some tough games this past weekend at the Scott Summer Slam. SK bested Grant Count last night in straight sets 25-11, 25-16 and 25-8. The GPS took us to Verona tonight for the rubber floored confines of Walton Verona Elementary School as the high school is undergoing major renovations.

SK got off to a slow start and fell behind early. Problems would get compounded as Iron Woman Kelsey Schmiade went down with an early injury. Schmee would go get checked out at the hospital and early reports sound encouraging. Please keep our girl Schmee in your prayers. Line-up challenges would become even tougher as Ellie Smith was unable to play due to illness. SK was able to dominate WV off of their serve as the Lady Cats had trouble passing the service of Kenzie Bard, Biz Manser and Carson Elliott. Coach Atwood would call on the services of Kayla McDonald to don the yellow libero jersey. The sophomore did a nice job of answering the call. SK was able to get their offense going through their middles as Amarah Nicholson and Haley Robinson were able dominate at the net. SK goes on to win by a final scores of 25-9, 25-22 and 25-13.
