Wildcat VB team falls in spite of improved serving
By Kirt Manion
Hamburg Reporter
Improved serving went for naught as the Hamburg
volleyball team dropped a three-game match to Fairfax on Monday night by
scores of 25-17, 25-15, and 25-16.
Wildcat Coach Amanda Walther said the Wildcats played
a bit flat and fell behind in each game. Despite those deficits, Coach
Walther said her team continued to fight and got back to within four or
five points, only to have Fairfax re-extend its advantage.
“We weren’t ready to play,” Walther
said. “We were flat. It was a Monday.”
On the plus side, Coach Walther said the Wildcats
posted improved serving numbers and actually out served their foe on
Monday.
In other recent action, Hamburg beat Clarinda Academy
in three games and fell to Stanton in three games in back-to-back Oct. 6
Corner Conference tournament matches.
The highlight of the two matches, Walther said, was
the team’s competitiveness in one of the games against Stanton.
The Wildcats led 24-22 in one of the games, but fell
short.
Hamburg was scheduled to return to action Tuesday at
Farragut before wrapping up the regular season at 5:30 p.m. at East Mills
on Thursday.
Districts will be Wednesday, Oct. 22,
at Farragut against the winner of Farragut and
Sidney. Match time is set for 7 p.m.
