COLONY — The Yates Center High School volleyball team split a pair of matchups at Crest on Tuesday evening.
The Wildcats began their play by knocking off Southeast-Cherokee in two sets, 25-19 and 25-22.
“We had a few players in different spots on the floor and we made it work. We talk a lot about being flexible and doing your job no matter where you are,” said Yates Center head coach Carrie Cummings.
Wildcats Peyton Petit and Rylie Smith stepped up to the challenge against Southeast-Cherokee most, according to Cummings.
Yates Center then lost to Crest in two sets, 25-22 and 25-12.
“We played very well in the first set. We were down by five and came back to lead the set. We ended up losing the set but we fought hard and were aggressive,” Cummings said.
Cummings continued: “The second set was where we stopped being aggressive and tried to be careful, that’s when we let up and Crest became the aggressors. We need to learn to expect to be ahead and keep pushing instead of letting up and being careful not to make mistakes.”
Yates Center travels to St. Mary’s-Colgan on Saturday at 8:30 a.m.
