For a young team loaded with sophomores and juniors while only holding two seniors, the Waldron Lady Bulldogs have spent their volleyball season proving naysayers wrong. They show up to each game with a drive unmatched by any opponent. The Lady Bulldogs set out at the beginning of their season with one purpose and that was to go big or go home. With Monday nights 3-0 win against the Mansfield Lady Tigers, Waldron has upgraded their season play record to 8-7 and now sits 7-2 in conference play.
Ending the match with set wins of 25-18, 25-16, and 25-18, it was a close hard-fought battle. Nonetheless, the Lady Bulldogs consistently kept the upper hand in each set always managing to find that little bit of steam needed to pull ahead. Leading the team in digs was Ashton Young with 13. Senior, Taylor Stacy, followed with 10 digs, along with five blocks, and one ace.
Kentucky Spence came out on top with six blocks also earning two kills, and one dig. Senior, Bayleigh Lipham was on fire with her seven digs. Rheagan Sanford took charge with 15 kills, five digs, and one block. Karissa Johnston made two digs and one block. Jessica Ozuna earned three digs. Anastasia Lynch grabbed one dig and one block. And Molly Richmond brought in one block.
“Last night was awesome,” exclaimed Head Coach, Toby Hollin. “We showed up determined and the girls played well together. They were more vocal and it paid off big time. I am so proud of them!” The Waldron Lady Bulldogs are excited to keep their momentum going as they next face the 4-4 Booneville Lady Bearcats on Thursday, October 3 at 4 p.m.
