DAYTON/WAITSBURG—Wolfpack Volleyball has had a rough season, impacted early on by COVID-19 and, most recently, injuries to many of the team’s key players. That doesn’t stop the Wolfpack from giving their all each game, identifying areas of need, and working to improve.
On September 28, the Wolfpack traveled to Warden High School. The team lost against the Cougars, with scores of 13-25, 19-25, 14-25.
Makenna Barron ended the game with six blocks and one kill. Megan Forney had four digs, one block, and one kill.
“Claudia Benevides really stepped up for the team tonight,” said coach Tracy Barron. “She came in off the bench and played middle hitter after Peyton Struckmier went down with a badly sprained ankle. The whole team came together to make the best of a hard situation.”
On Thursday, September 30, the Wolfpack played against Tri-Cities Prep, falling against the team in three sets, with scores of 9-25, 9-25, 16-25.
Emily Rodrick ended the game with two kills, five assists, and two aces. Kylee Henry had two assists, one block, two kills, and one ace. Makenna Barron had three blocks, three kills, four digs, and 100% serving.
“I am proud of these girls for making the best of a messy situation,” Barron said. “Between injuries and illness, we were missing some of our key players. These girls adjusted, playing spots on the court that they had never played before. Trista Villaro really stepped up tonight and helped our team.”
