Monroe Central

Our Junior Varsity and Varsity volleyball teams traveled to take on the Eagles of Delta this evening. The Varsity team knew coming into this match that they were up against a tough Eagles team. In fact, just the night before, this Eagles team upset Muncie Burris in a 3-0 sweep. The goal for our team was to focus on our mental toughness on the floor and to celebrate the winning plays we make. The Eagles came out strong as ever and did end up winning in three sets with scores of 9-25, 10-25, and 9-25 but our Lady Golden Bears also accomplished some things tonight. This was one of the better mentally focused nights the coaches have witnessed this season. We had to overcome an obstacle right away in the first set with Junior Addi Grove going down with an ankle injury. Only having one possible substitution, our team kept focus and kept their spirits high doing the best they possibly could with it. A huge shoutout to our player of the night tonight being Junior Angie Burress. Angie come out with the right frame of mind in tonight's match. She was on point with her mental game which translated to some nice stats as well. She had 16 service receptions and an impressive 9 digs. Angie's efforts were top notch on the floor tonight. Also as a special note, Senior Kaylee Swift stepped up and played a position she was not used to tonight and was able to get a kill while playing that front row. This Saturday (9/14/24) we have the Varsity Golden Bear Invite here in the Bear Den. There will be 6 teams playing in this tournament. Match play starts at 9 am.
