HUMBOLDT — It took a bit for Humboldt Middle School’s volleyball team to pick up steam Saturday.
But when they did, the Lady Cubs maintained their spotless record at their own tournament.
Humboldt dropped its first game of the tournament before rebounding to defeat Eureka 14-25, 25-11, 15-9. Humboldt kept up the pace with a 25-12, 25-10 win over Cherryvale and a 25-16, 25-13 win over Yates Center.
“Eureka came out ready to play and we were a little flat in the first set,” Humboldt head coach Terry Meadows said. “We finally stepped it up and played our game and pulled out the win. The girls really put their heart into it today.”
Makayla McCall led the way against Eureka with six points, five kills and an ace. Kassie Angleton added five points, two kills, and three aces.
McCall had six points with three kills and three aces against Cherryvale. Angelton had five aces. Sydney Houk had three kills. Tilar Wells also had three aces to go with four points.
