Iola Middle School’s eighth grade volleyball teams hosted Parsons Monday afternoon.
The A-Team won 25-23 and 27-25.
“Piper Moore made some smart plays at the net and had eight kills,” coach Terri Carlin said. “She also had an ace serve and an assist.”
Mia Aronson had an ace, assist and kill. Kendra Sprague had two aces and two kills. Madisyn Holloway had two aces. Shaylee Sutterby had three aces. Paige Burrough served the final point of the game and had an ace. Kassy Shelby had great passes off or Parsons’ spikes.
“The girls really fought hard to win this one,” coach Carlin said. “This was a great match between two pretty solid and scrappy teams. There were some great rallies on both sides.”
Iola started down 5-0 in the second set and at one time was behind 9-3. Sutterby then had six straight points. Iola led 19-12, but Parsons rallied for seven straight points to tie the set.
“It went back and forth until the end,” Carlin said. “This was a fun match, and it was great to walk away with the win.”
The B-Team lost its match 14-25 and 24-26.
Macie Martin had two aces. Shelby and Charvelle Perterson had four kills each.
“We weren’t quite focused and ready in the first set,” Carlin said. “The girls came out more ready in the second set. It was close at the end, but we just couldn’t quite get ahead.”
B-Team coach Kendra Goddard was pleased with the play from Martin, who had several great passes that allowed Iola to setup the ball.
