WSN head coach Jason Blaney said that his two seniors, Tykeria Nolan and Jodi Busby, both stepped up big on senior night Thursday.
“We celebrated senior night tonight and our seniors stepped up big time, like they have time and time again this season,” he said. “We did let up a little bit during that second set and fourth set, but fought back during the fourth set to take the match. The whole team played well on this night and as a team we playing very well right now.”
Blaney said his team has had a decent season and a couple of their loses could’ve easily have gone the other way, but now they start off 0-0 going into Tuesday’s area tournament were they will take on Satsuma.
“The winner of that match automatically advances to regionals and will take on UMS-Wright for the area championship,” Blaney said. “Satsuma beat us the second week in the season and it will be one heck of a fight. I know that both teams have improved since that day and look forward to a great match Tuesday.”
