The Garner-Hayfield-Ventura volleyball team split a pair of matches last week.

Forest City 3, GHV 0

Although the Cardinals didn’t win a game against Forest City on Tuesday, Aug. 28, Coach Kelsey Edwards was still happy with her teams’ effort.

“Although we did not get a win against Forest City, we had competitive stretches and the girls played with enthusiasm,” said Edwards.

The Indians won the matches with scores of 25-13, 25-17 and 25-16.

Clear Lake ran into a talented Humboldt team Thursday, Aug. 30.  The 13th ranked Wildcats topped the Lions in three games, 25-13, 25-13, 25-12.

“We kinda ran into a buzz saw of a team,” said Clear Lake Coach Richie Ellis.  “We played pretty well, though. It was a good measuring stick for us and showed us what we need to work on.”

The coach said the biggest area of improvement he saw in the match was the Lions’ mental game.
