\u201cMuch better teamwork tonight,\u201d Kelseyville head coach Donelle McCallister said. \u201cThey were playing scrappy volleyball, picking up things that usually are missed. Attacks and serving were strong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe girls played really well tonight,\u201d McCallister said. \u201cAfter being a little nervous in their game against Lower Lake (on Tuesday), they began moving and talking as a team. They used a lot of skills and techniques taught in practice and transferred that to game conditions. I\u2019m really proud of their efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emma Davis had 12 digs, six kills, three service points and three aces for Middletown (1-1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middletown JVs definitely came to battle tonight,\u201d Middletown head coach Vanessa Davis said. \u201cUnfortunately, we came up a little short in a few areas, including missed serve opportunities and passing errors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hannah Tribby had six service points, six assists and two kills for Middletown while Emma Jones added three kills and two aces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe match was exciting to watch,\u201d Davis said. \u201cBoth sides really know to play good volleyball.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olivia Paul led the Trojans (0-2) with five kills, Khaya Chanez added four kills and three aces, and Jamiya Lee-Ayers had three kills and a block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lower Lake head coach Vikki Poni said the Trojans were a bit sluggish in the first set after their long ride to the Mendocino County coast but played better and better as the match progressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe last two sets they were happy with,\u201d Poni said of her players. \u201cWe\u2019re growing as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
