UNION — Both the varsity and JV Lady Yellow Jackets suffered losses this week in volleyball action.
JV
On Wednesday, the JV team fell to Broome, 16-25 and 20-25.
“We never seemed to be in the games during Broome,” said Union County JV Coach Sherry Jackson. “Communication was off and confidence was down. I’m not sure why.”
Micaela Solis had 4 assists, 1 kill and an ace. Dynia Davis had kills. Rakendra Jeter had 1 assist. Cara Phillips had 3 aces and 2 kills.
On Thursday, the JV Jackets lost a heartbreaker to Chapman, 24-26, 25-17, and 11-15.
“I was very pleased with the effort, hustle, and overall game play,” said Jackson. “It was so much better than our last set.”
Caitlin Grant had 7 assists and an ace. Micaela Solis had 2 assists and 3 aces. Macy Scarborough had 4 kills. Dynia Davis had 3 kills and a dig. Sydney Gregory had an ace. Cara Phillips had 2 kills.
Jackson added that Mary Scarborough, Paige Foster, and Rakendra Jeter also had impressive games and that the team’s serving was much improved from Wednesday.
