Area high school volleyball roundup —

Marmaton Valley High’s Wildcats hosted their first of two home volleyball dates Tuesday. The second is Thursday in Moran.
The Wildcats lost to Oswego 25-22, 25-13 but sent the MVHS fans home happy with a win over Pleasanton. The Wildcats notched a 25-12, 22-25, 25-12 victory against the Blu-Jays.
“The team we’ve been waiting for this season showed up against Pleasanton,” said Lindsay Ermel, Wildcat head coach. “Our setters, Molly McEwan and Lydia Lance had their best night of setting the ball for us.”
Maggie Meiwes and Cheyanne Miller each delivered 11 kills at the net or Marmaton Valley. Kayla McNutt had six kills.
Hannah Endicott served six aces plus had two kills. Kaitlin Ensminger downed three kills and Morgan Henry had two kills.

Kansas Class 2A top-ranked Uniontown High’s Eagles suffered their first loss of the season Tuesday.
Playing at home, the Eagles took care of business early with a 25-19, 25-16 win over St. Paul Tiffany Poyner served for 11 points and had 20 digs. Jacey Ermel put down 10 kills and Tayler Shook had 13 set assists.
Northeast High of Arma beat St. Paul 27-25, 25-13.
The Eagles and the Lady Vikings of Northeast had a knock-out, drag-out match that went three games. The Lady Vikings prevailed 25-21, 26-28, 25-21.
“We’re disappointed in our loss against Northeast but we didn’t play up to our potential,” said Jackie Hall, UHS head coach. “We struggled with our passing and couldn’t seem to hold serve in our strong rotations.”
Hall said Northeast executed its game plan very well. She said she was proud of the way the Eagles hung in there but “we certainly have some work to do  to improve our passing and coverages before we head to Cherryvale Saturday.”
Uniontown (14-1) got nine service points from Jessica Harrison against Northeast. Ermel, who was 39 of 44 with attacks at the net, had 23 kills. Jessie Camac and Hayden Rathbun each had four kills. Shook had 30 assists and Poyner had 49 assists.
Uniontown’s junior varsity won 25-19, 25-16 over St. Paul as Hope Jurgensen and Paige Stainbrook each served nine points. It beat Northeast 25-17, 25-15 as Brit Stokes had six service points.
Also playing at home were Humboldt High’s Lady Cubs. The Lady Cubs lost to Burlington 25-9, 25-6. They dropped a 19-25, 25-14, 25-21 decision to Leon-Bluestem.
“We were short-handed due to discipline reasons and we did not handle it well in the first match,” said Stephanie Splechter, Lady Cub head coach. “Brandi Malloy went down with an ankle sprain four points into the second match.”
Splechter said the Lady Cubs worked hard against Leon-Bluestem to keep themselves in the match. She said they had a lot of girls playing in new positions and “I’m proud of the way they played in the second match.”
Hannah McCall had eight kills for Humboldt and Melissa Davidson had six kills. Amanda Maxton put up three set assists and served for aces. Sheri Middleton had three blocks at the net.
It was not the start in Lyon County League they wanted as Southern Coffey County High’s Lady Titans dropped two matches at Burlingame Tuesday.
They lost to host Burlingame 25-21, 25-16. Ashton Isch and Sam Jacob each had four kills. Brooke Scheele made seven set assists.
The Lady Titans came up short against Waverly losing  23-25, 25-21, 25-22. Jacob put down seven kills and Isch had five kills. Scheele had 10 assists.
“Against Burlingame, the first game was back and forth until Burlingame made the first move to take the lead. They jumped on us early in the second game and we couldn’t get anything going,” said Korey Lankton, Lady Titan head coach.
“Our lack of consistency in passing just sums it  up for both matches. We played Waverly without Kristin Stephens because of a in jury and that hurt us. She does a good job around the net.”
Yates Center was at Fredonia with Iola. It lost to Fredonia 25-16, 25-10 and to Iola 25-16, 27-25.
Crest hosted Altoona-Midway and Chetopa. No report reached the Register by deadline.
