Ladycat JV rallies for win, preserves perfect mark

The Whitehouse JV volleyball team is perfect on the year, including a first place win in the Brownsboro tournament.

The Whitehouse Ladycat JV continued to roll last week through district play although they almost saw their unbeaten streak come to an end. The team's toughest test came last Tuesday on the road at Hallsville. The Ladycats fell to the home team in the first game 17-25 but rallied to win the final two games and the match 25- 16 and 25-20.

The Ladycats were lead by Sarah Stanley who totaled 16 points on the night including 10 kills and Mallory Smith with 16 points and 6 kills. Jori Patterson also contributed 12 points while Abigail Crawford added 11.

"We traveled into a hostile environment and lost the first game but we kept our composure and fought back to win the next two - I am proud of these girls" said an excited Coach Jon Sheppard after the game.

The Ladycats then returned home on Friday night to defeat the Lady Bulldogs from Kilgore 25-11 and 28-26 in a hard fought match. Stanley again led the way with 13 points while Patterson posted 12 points on the night. Crawford would add 10 points and Ashley Crank contributed 8 points in the win.

The wins moved the record for the JV to 21-0 on the season and 8-0 in district play.
