COLDSPRING — While it was clearly the Lady Trojans game with a 3-0 win over Silsbee on Friday, it gave the team a chance to work on a few new tactics to improve their game.
Coach Dwain Anderson called it a great opportunity for the younger players to step in and gain experience. The set scores were 25-19, 25-13 and 25-16.
“We have been working on playing the girls in different positions to mix up our attacks, and we were able to put that into tonight’s game,” he said. “We even finished the last set without any of the seniors on the court. The other girls stepped in and didn’t miss a beat.”
Anderson said they will continue to fine tune the things we need to work on as they get ready for district.
Top producers were Ella Phillips with 6 kills and 4 blocks, while Tess Philips had 8 kills and Ashlynn Holley had 8 kills and 4 aces. Cali Crowder had 26 assists and 2 aces.
On Sept. 3, Grapeland High School did not have an answer for the high-flying serves of the Lady Trojans.
Both Ashlynn Holley and Tess Phillips agreed that the game was clearly needed to work on several items before district play.
The scores were 25-12, 25-12 and 25-14.
