Panthers To Meet Highland For Championship
Jersey Moves On To Regional Title Game
In the end, it was a highly competitive match with Jersey prevailing 25-19, 25-23.
The win improves Jersey to 16-12 and Roxana finishes the year 26-9.
Jersey’s head volleyball coach Justin Wilhite and assistant coach Sue Long couldn’t have been happier with the way their girls executed their game plan Tuesday night against the Shells.
“One thing that Coach Long brings because of her experience is she see plays before they happen,” Coach Wilhite said. “She is able to help us devise a game plan with energy and enthusiasm and that can be great. We executed the game plan perfectly.”
Coach Long said: “Our girls have been working on some different strategies and had some thankful tips from other coaches. We are now going to polish those strategies up for Highland and see what we can do with it.”
Roxana head girls volleyball coach Mike McKinney said his team didn’t play as well as they have been and he felt the Shells didn’t have a lot of official calls that went their way.
“We didn’t play as aggressively as we have been and I wish them good luck as they move ahead,” he said. “We had a great season at 26-9, but our end obviously came a little quicker than we would have wanted. We will reload and have a lot of youth on our team. We played five sophomores in our top night. Tonight wasn’t our night.”
Four seniors - Abby Kurth, Taylor Jackson, Abi Stalhut and Lindsey Cameron concluded their Shells’ volleyball careers Tuesday. McKinney said it was a remarkable overall season for his team, with the girls winning 22 of their last 26 matches. The 26 overall wins is the most ever for the Shells.
