YATES CENTER — The Yates Center volleyball team hosted an invitational on Tuesday with Marmaton Valley, Uniontown and Altoona Midway.
The Wildcats clawed back from a 17-6 deficit to win their first set against Uniontown.
“That was a highlight of the night,” said Yates Center head coach Carrie Cummings. “It was a defining moment for the girls not to give up when they were down. That is the grit we need to continue this season.”
The Wildcats won the matchup against Uniontown in two sets, 25-22 and 25-12.
Yates Center then proceeded to defeat Altoona- Midway in two sets, 25-16 and 25-8.
“The girls are starting to develop connections on the court that make good teams great. We are continuing to work on our hitting variations to make the other team’s defense work harder,” Cummings said. “We want to do better at terminating the ball and making sure our defense gives us the best chance to do that.”
Yates Center lost to Marmaton Valley to wrap up the round robin in two sets, 23-25 and 17-25.
Yates Center will be back in action at the Humboldt tournament on Saturday at 8:30 a.m.
