Lady Cards Score Touchet and Alumni Wins

WAITSBURG – The Lady Cardinals had a good week with a four-set league win against the Touchet Indians on Oct. 18, followed by a homecoming-week alumni game win on Friday.

The Touchet Indians won the first set 25-21 but the Cardinals quickly recovered to win the next three 25-22, 26-24 and 25-18.

“During the Touchet match, we struggled a little with consistency and had to play four sets, but overall the girls really played well and came together like they had early in the season. They’ve been running more offensive options with confidence and it’s fun to see things that we’ve worked on in practice that they have fun with finally getting put into the matches without hesitation,” said Coach Angie Potts.

Devon Harshman led the stats in the Touchet game with 11 kills, Tayler Jones made nine kills and six digs, Kailyn Lewis added six kills, four aces and five digs, and Ariel Sandau pitched in another six kills, 23 assists and nine digs.

“The alumni match is always a fun way to end our homecoming week. We were able to win the match in three sets and get everyone some pretty good playing time. The third set was really close, ending in our favor at 25-23, but it was awesome to finish the match with our young underclassmen on the floor playing tough.,” Potts said.

The Lady Cards will play their last league match against Prescott on the Tiger court on Tuesday, Oct. 24. They will wrap up their season play with a home court non-league match against LWK on Oct. 30, which will also be senior night.
