Bells-

The Lady Cats continued to improve their district record to 3-4, 8-17 overall on Friday night as they defeated Bells 3-1 in an early match with scores of 22-25, 25-21, 25-16, 26-24. The match time had been moved up due to homecoming festivities in Bells and an open night on the Tom Bean football schedule. Ashley Selman led the Lady Cats with 17 kills and 7 blocks for the majority of the match. After a flat start, the girls came roaring back to defeat the Lady Panthers in three consecutive games. Makenzie Jones continues to be a consistent force on the left side to help lead a more balanced attack for the Lady Cats. As a team, the Lady Cats have been searching for someone to come up consistent on the outside and Makenzie Jones responded to the challenge with 8 kills. Serving seemed to be a challenge for the Lady Cats for the evening but the mental toughness of Danielle Thompson and Raechel Van Horn was the catalyst that helped seal the match. The Lady Cats begin their second round of district play on Tuesday evening at home against Callisburg. This is a big match for the girls and they love to play in front of a packed house. Come on out and wear your black and orange.  Once again, thank you for supporting our girls.
