The Lady Bulldogs split games last week, defeating Ranger last Tuesday but coming up short against Strawn on Saturday.

The varsity team took Ranger in three sets 25-22, 25-12, 25-16 on Tuesday, Oct. 8.  

“In the second set, Jaylynn Roberts was on fire and led the scoring with 16 points in a row,” said coach Jo Hise. Moran took the lead and held on for the win, according to the coach. 

“We got up and stayed up,” said Hise. “The momentum was on our side, and we ran with it.”

Roberts was also the top scorer in the third set with 10 points.  

The varsity girls did not fare as well against the visiting Strawn Lady Hounds.

“We went after every ball and kept them alive,” said Hise. “We played hard and volleyed very well, but we just couldn’t finish the point.”

Moran lost to Strawn 10-25, 21-25, 13-25.

The junior high Lady Bulldogs lost in Ranger 11-25, 25-22, 13-15.

The coach commended Paige Crow for scoring 13 points in the second set.
