Liberty Bell High School volleyball got its season off to a good start, winning 3 sets to 1 at Okanogan last Tuesday, then traveling to Entiat and shutting out the Tigers, 3-0, on Saturday.
Senior server Ava Schade hit an outstanding 95% on her serves while registering four aces. Sophomore Zephyr Woras was close behind in serving efficiency, good on 18 of 19 serves. Sophomore Avery Vracin made the most of her four serve chances with a 100% efficiency, with three of those four serves as aces.
Senior hitter Wynter Woras led the offensive attack with 10 kills, Vracin added nine and junior Mylie Erks joined Zephyr Woras with six kills each.
In the 3-0 shutout at Entiat, Schade shone once again from the service line, keeping all nine of her serves in play for a 100% rating and running her season stat to a solid 28 for 29 from the line. Vracin held at 100% on the season with a perfect five-for-five day from the service line. Wynter Woras again led the front row attack with 11 successful kills on 18 attempts.
Karlie Treise led the defensive effort up front with three blocks and two block-kills.
The Mountain Lions opened at home on Tuesday night facing the 1B Soap Lake eagles in another non-league match. This Thursday (Sept. 17) they host 2A Quincy in The Den, JV at 5 p.m., varsity action scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Saturday they travel to Ephrata for a day-long tournament, taking on the 4A Moses Lake Mavericks in the first round.
Next Tuesday (Sept. 22) they travel to Brewster for a showdown with the Bears. That match will be an early peek into what will be a very competitive season involving both teams, thought to be two of the top three in the Central Washington 2B.
