‘Scrappy’ Keota tops JH volleyballers

KEOTA – It’s a long ride over to Keota.

It seemed even longer coming home for the junior high Bravettes volleyball teams on Tuesday, Sept. 28.

The eighth grade fell 3-0 to Keota, while the seventh grade team lost 2-1.

It was a small and scrappy Keota squad,” said Montezuma Coach Megan Carlson.

We were unable to get a flow going in the matches and Keota never quit on any points,” she said.

The seventh grade fell on scores of 11-25, 25-17 and 23-25.

This was a great team for us to play and I know that the girls will grow so much from this experience,” Carlson said.

The eighth graders fell 19-25, 20-25 and 24-26.

We need to focus on being great communicators and working hard on every single point,” Carlson said.

This group has grown so much and I know that they have so much potential,” the coach added. “They just need to settle down and set the pace for their matches.”

With only one home match remaining, I know the girls will want to bounce back from a tough one,” Carlson said.
