Sports Roundup
Rogers High def. Alma
Rogers coach Jeana Breedlove might have had that sinking feeling in the early moments of Tuesday's nonconference volleyball match at Alma.
The biggest volleyball arena in the state hasn't been kind to the Lady Mounties. But Rogers shook off an early deficit and coasted past Alma, 25-22, 25-17, 25-17.
"In this gym, it's hard because of the lighting," Breedlove said. "The girls look up and they lose the ball in those theater lights. It is definitely a homecourt advantage in this gym. I told coach (Rogers assistant Alex Jacobs), any win in this gym is a big win."
Junior Samantha Lassiter had 13 kills to pace the Lady Mounties (2-0) pulled ahead, 15-9, in the opener on Hannah Lloyd's tip. Lloyd finished with a team-high 11 assists, with Madison Van Allen handing out 10 assists.
Alma grabbed a 3-1 lead in the second game on one of Bailey's kills. Later, Jordan Dabdub's ace snapped a 6-6 tie for the Airedalettes. But Rogers surged in front, 19-12, and cruised home for the win.
Alma pulled within two at 9-7 in the third game, but again the Lady Mounties reeled off four consecutive kills and pulled away.
Springdale High def. Huntsville
Springdale High bounced back from a tough, five-set loss Monday against Shiloh Christian to beat Huntsville 3-1 (22-25, 25-13, 25-14, 25-18) and give new coach Kylie Moad her first victory Tuesday.
Junior outside hitter Desiree Mack led the Lady Bulldogs (1-1) with 18 kills, while Bethany Maddox finished with nine and junior Ryann Goodsell added seven. Junior setter Maddie Mueller had 31 assists in the win.
Springdale will continue its busy opening week with a home match Thursday against Van Buren.
Shiloh Christian def. Rogers Heritage
The Lady Saints made it two straight wins over 7A-West Conference teams to start the season with a 3-2 (12-25, 25-17, 22-25, 25-19, 15-11) win against Rogers Heritage at Champions Gymnasium.
Junior Reagan Robinson led Shiloh Christian (2-0) with 21 kills and 22 digs. Allie Pitts had 20 assists and 4 aces. Haley Richards added 10 blocks and libero Celestine Sebag added 13 digs.
Elleson Dunagin led Heritage (1-1) with 19 kills, while Maddie Hotelling and Connor McNulty added 10 kills each. Alye Darter led the Lady War Eagles with 31 digs and setter Bailey Baxendale dished out 21 assists.
Springdale Har-Ber def. Webb City, Mo.
Springdale Har-Ber is off to a good start under first-year coach Shyra Schisler.
Har-Ber went on the road and swept Webb City, Mo. 3-0 (25-21, 25-21, 25-20) in the debut for Schisler, who coached last year at Shiloh Christian.
Paige Williams had seven kills and Tiffani Ray 20 assists to lead Har-Ber. Emily Doss added eight digs.
