ARMA — Marmaton Valley High’s volleyball squad came up short in its bid for victory Tuesday at the Northeast-Arma triangular.
The Wildcats stood toe to toe with host Northeast for much of their first set, before the Vikings rattled off five straight points to take the lead for good in a 25-18 win.
Kyla Sander gave MV an early boost in the second set, serving up five points in a row, but the Vikings again took control, this time with an 8-0 run to win set 2, 25-17.
The second match against Pleasanton saw the Blu-Jays put together several extended runs in a 25-12 and 25-16 sweep.
Marmaton Valley gets a week off until traveling to Lebo next Tuesday.
THE WILDCAT junior varsity also came up short in its sole match, falling 25-17 and 25-17 to the host Vikings.
Marmaton Valley’s JV also had a pair of grueling matches Monday at Humboldt.
The Wildcats fell 25-17 in the first set against Uniontown before a scintillating back-and-forth struggle in the second. The game was deadlocked at 27-27 before the Eagles scored two straight points to seal the 29-17 win.
A similar pattern followed in the set against host Humboldt as the Lady Cubs brought home a 25-13 win in the first set and a 25-22 win in the second.
