A white-out at Eatonbrought the brooms out after the Reds swept Rez opponents.   The Volleyball team took a 3-0 win over 6-3 Resurrection Christian September 25 at home in a sweep resulting in  the Reds’ seventh win on the season and the Cougars’ fourth loss.

As a team the girls’ offense came together and took all three sets easily.  In set 1, the Reds breezed passed the Cougars 25-10. Set 2, resulted in much of the same, another 25-10 win. Kynna Gentry (21), proud of the first two sets said, “I thought we came out the first two sets with a lot of good hustle plays and got the momentum going our way early.” The team used that momentum to take set three 25-22. 

After a closer third set, the Reds started slow, but were able to take a win using their strength on the offensive and defensive side. The Reds combined for 39 kills, compared to the Cougars’ 20. The kill percentage for the girls was 42%. Resurrection’s was at just 21%. Jisell Chumacero (21) said, “I think our last game we started out a little rough.  But this game felt like we finally came together as a team and really proved exactly how good we are.”

Next, the Reds, 7-1, will take on the 3-3 Frontier Academy Wolverines away at 6:30.
