Bandera Middle School volleyball B teams defeat Carrizo Springs

By Coach Amanda F. Nelson-Green
Girls Physical Education/Athletics
Bandera Middle School

8th Grade A Team
The Lady Bulldogs traveled to Carrizo Springs to take on the Lady Cats. In the first game we struggled to set a tempo. We lost 14-25. The second set, these ladies came together as a team and worked hard to push us to a third set winning 25-23. The third set started out strong with a 7-point lead, but we started struggling as our nerves started to set in as Carrizo Springs seemed to keep finding the holes in our defense. We fell short 11-15.
Throughout the game every player pushed themselves and I can not be more proud of their perseverance and fight. Overall it’s good to see the progress in this team despite the outcome.
Aces this week goes to Blu Rollo and Hadley Rogers with 8 each. Elizabeth D'Spain contributed to the net with 6 kills and 1 block. Rehnahta Gomez moved great defensively, picking up each ball that came her way. 
Your Lady Bulldogs face the Uvalde Lobos on Sept. 16, here in our doghouse. 

8th Grade B Team
The Lady Bulldog 8th grade B team defeated Carrizo Springs in two sets - 25 to 11 and 17 to 8. Makayla Clay was an offensive standout for the team, scoring 11 consecutive points off her serves. Jazmine Rhodes led the Lady Bulldogs defensively with on-target passing. Bentley O'Donnal also passed and set the ball with accuracy. With this win, the 8th grade B team improves their record to two wins and zero losses.  

7th Grade A Team
Bandera 7th Grade A team took on a hard serving Carrizo Springs Team losing in two sets 24-26 and 14-25. We had a lot of positives with the first thing being our serves.
We had multiple girls able to serve in chunks to help keep us in the game: Brenna Byrd with 10 serving aces, Hailey Feller, Harper Hartsfield, and Emily Short with four each, Colbie Lalanne with three. We had some weakness with our serve receive, but made some adjustments to help improve our play.
Every one of the players were able to get some digs on the floor. Brenna and Harper led the team with 15 digs each. We are attempting to pass, set, hit and we are making progress to know where to transition too. We will have a bye next week as we gear up for Uvalde on Sept. 16.

7th Grade B Team
Bandera 7th Grade B team traveled to Carrizo Springs yesterday, and got their second win of the season: 25-10 and 19-17. Mika Gray set a strong tone for the game, serving seven in a row to put the team ahead early in  the first set. The second set the girls' ball movement, focus, and teamwork lead to another victory despite a comeback attempt by Carrizo Springs. Each girl played a big part in our win today, they have a lot to be proud of.
