Maroon
Carrizo Springs had a rough first game against the 8th Grade Maroon Fillys on September 23. Kelsey Dishman served every serve in the 25-0 game. The Lady Cats were unable to break her stride and get out of their rotation.
“This game was definitely a learning experience for all! Carrizo Springs tried their best and I appreciate their effort as they kept fighting throughout the game; but due to the fact that we only played in rotation 1 the entire game, I decided to play my bench players the entire 2nd game and it was a real eye-opener,” Coach Shana Beaty said. “My girls off the bench got an opportunity to play each position and figure out where to go offensively AND defensively and they struggled a bit at times, but it didn’t take away from the game they played. This helped me see that I really need to practice my bench players more in that same type of scenario so my girls can gain more confidence in those rotations. We are excited to have another win on our belt.”
Aces: Brooklyn Miller 1, Dishman 1. Hits: Rylee Esquibel 6, Denise Contreras 5, Macky Schnautz 3, Makayla Rivera 3, Kaylee Romano 2. Kills: Esquibel 3, Schnautz 2, Denise Contreras 1. Assists: Kate Featherly 3. Offensive Serve Recieves: Dishman 3, Romano 3, Lizbeth Delos Santos 3, Esquibel 2, Yancey Parson 1, Kate Featherly 1, Rivera 1.
The 8th Maroon Fillys are 4-0 in district and 9-0 overall this season. They will head to Crystal City on October 7 and then face Hondo at home October 14.
