Lady Cubs keep filling the trophy case

by admin

It was another gold ball for the Lady Cubs on Tuesday night, as the Ladies defeated Highland Park 25-17, 25-15, 21-25, 26-24.

It was a tough battle throughout the contest, but the Ladies dug deep and found a way to win, with a Deja Johnson kill to end the match emphatically.

On the night, Gabi Fields had 32 assists, Deja Johnson had eight aces, 15 kills and two blocks. Meriah Gonzales had nine kills, and Tia Johnson had eight kills. Lindsey Herrera had 24 digs.

The Lady Cubs had defeated Highland Park in tournament play earlier this year, and HP was pretty determined to not let that happen again, but the Ladies battled all the way through.

Head Coach Mallorie Ellis stated, “The girls played with heart and immediately adjusted to the changes I made in order for us to win that game. Everyone filled their role to the best of their ability. I appreciated how determined this group of girls are to beat good teams.”

The Cubs will head into the Regional Tournament this weekend, to be held at Lubbock Cooper High School. The Ladies will face Holliday on Friday, November 12, at 5 p.m. Holliday is the team that knocked the Ladies out of the playoff last year in the Regional Semifinal Round. They will be looking to avenge that loss.

“We are coming for revenge since they knocked us out last year,” stated Ellis. We know they will be a really good team and we will have to play just as hard as we did against Highland Park in order to beat them.”

Holliday is 39-5 overall and went 12-0 in district play. Peaster forced a fourth set in their Regional Quarterfinal match, before Holliday went ahead with the win.
