District play is off to a great start for the Junior Varsity Arabians with a win over Carrizo Springs. Winning in two sets, the Arabians may have started off slow but they quickly built energy and put pressure on the Lady Cats to win each set 25-19. “We came out a little sloppy and slow but after a few touches, the girls pulled through and gained momentum to take and maintain the lead. This was a great way to start off district!” said Coach Megan Perez.
Alyson Taylor led with 3 aces, assisted by Alison Stevens and Brooke DuBose with 2 each, and Janae Wofford, Destiny Moralez, and Heidi McLaughlin with 1 each. Sydnie Harrel led with 6 kills, assisted by Wofford 4, Taylor 2, Halle Hagdorn and Kennedy Duncan with 1 each. Harrel and Hagdorn each had 1 block.
The JV Arabian record is 5-7.
