In Mondays non-conference tussle between the Hackett Sr High Lady Hornets and the Lavaca Lady Golden Arrows, fans were greeted with a thrilling edge of their seat rumble. During this four-set do-si-do, both teams tirelessly lodged hit after hit and block after block at each other until one of them emerged from the ashes. The Sr Lady Hornets! Lavaca delivered Hackett an eye-opener during the first set as the Lady Arrows won 25-18. But that was just enough to get the fire lit under the Lady Hornets as they came back to play first fiddle in the last three sets 25-17, 25-10, and 25-10. This 3-1 feat puts the Sr Lady Hornets record at 11-1.
Kandace Byrd ended the game with 3 kills, 1 assist, and 14 digs. Jamye Durham got 3 aces, 4 kills, 5 digs, and 1 assist. Shayla Foster made 3 kills, 1 assist, and 12 digs. Madeline Freeman earned 10 kills, 1 block, 17 assists, and 12 digs. Brooke Holt netted 1 kill. Sarah White got 22 digs. Tori Blanton picked up 1 dig. Kayla Richardson got 1 kill. Rain Vaughn obtained 3 aces, 9 kills, 1 block, 1 assist, and 8 digs. Madi Taylor snagged 1 ace, 4 digs, 1 kill, and 11 assists. And Kenadi Wright acquired 5 kills and 2 blocks.
