Tison takes Acton to three in three matches

Staff Report

The Tison seventh grade Lady Roos made Granbury Acton fight for every game Thursday, but came up short in all three contests.

The C Team won its first game 25-23, and then lost the next two, 21-25, 10-25. Kaitlyn Catron, Katie Hardison, and Robyn Dyson served well and Rachel Dean had several defensive saves.

The B Team was a little slow to start, but took Acton to three games. Losing the first game 16-25, the Lady Roos came back to win the second 25-22, helped by the serving of Corrine LoBrandon and Phyllisha Lang’s impressive hit from the back row. The Lady Roos lost the final game, 20-25. Abby Curry and Mackenzie Sterner helped keep the match close for the Lady Roos.

The A Team’s extended first game was a nail biter, with the Lady Roos coming out on top, 30-29. With great assists from Courtney Cox, Chelsey Bransford the Lady Roos was able to keep the attack active on Acton. Peyton Sefcik carded several aces, while Lauren Anderson had several point-saving digs, helped with some nice blocks from Kim Novak. The Lady Roos lost the next two games 13-25, 16-25, but the score did not reflect the long rallies and the numerous saves on both sides of the net. Chelsea Freeman had a very active and productive match, with more than 40 serves and 15 solid spikes.

Tison hosts Hall Thursday, at 5 p.m.
