COLONY — Marmaton Valley Junior High’s volleyball team capped its run to perfection Thursday evening. THE WILDCATS also prevailed, 26-20, in a thrilling football game that came down to the last minute.
The Wildcats’ A-team swept host Crest Middle School, 25-10, 25-16, to end the 2013 season with a 14-0 record.
“Their volleyball has just begun,” Wildcat coach Brenda Mills said. “I told these girls they haven’t come close to reaching their potential. It’s going to be fun to watch them play next year in high school.”
Shayla Brooks led Marmaton Valley with 10 points and a kill, including a seven-point run, while Trinitee Gutierrez had seven points and two kills. MaKayla Brooks had six points and two kills. Paige Becker had a kill.
The Wildcat B-team ended its season with a 9-4 record with a 25-12, 25-12 win over the Lancers. Shayli Woods had seven points, while Genna Mitchell and Mickayla Genn had six points each.
Marmaton Valley held the Lancers out of the end zone at the end of the game, head coach Dan Uhlrich said.
“It was a very good game against a tough Crest team,” Uhlrich said. “The boys worked really hard. I hope they learned many life lessons through their experiences.”
Both Marmaton Valley and Crest ended the football season with a 6-1 record.
