OJH Volleyball @ LCM Tournament 9/11-9/12
7A
The Lady Bobcats battled hard at the LCM Tournament, facing two tough opponents and gaining valuable experience along the way.
The Lady Bobcats opened tournament play against a tough PNG team. The girls fought hard from start to finish, taking the match to three sets before ultimately falling short. Leading the way from the service line was Pollet with 5 aces, followed by Roberts with 4 and Ou with 2. At the net, Ciancaglione and Ou led the team in kills with 2 kills each. Defensively, Powell and Kovatch helped protect the court with 1 dig each.
On Day 2, the Lady Bobcats faced another tough opponent in Bridge City. Once again, the girls battled through three sets, showing determination and fighting until the very end, but came up short. Ou and Pollet led the team from the service line with 2 aces each. Defensively, Richard and Beckham anchored the back row with 2 digs each. The Lady Bobcats continued to attack throughout the match, with Ou, Roberts, Pollet, and Mansfield each recording a kill. Although the results weren't what the girls were hoping for, the Lady Bobcats showed grit, determination, and a willingness to fight through every set. Each match provided valuable opportunities to grow, learn, and continue building as a team. We are proud of the effort these girls continue to put on the court!

8A started the LCM tournament off against the Braves of Groves. Leading in serves was Emmie McFatter with 5 Aces. Christina Doucet and Austyn Spain had a great showing behind the service line and each a kill. Jesse Gautreaux and Kamryn Breaux led in attacks. The Bobcats came up short (25-18, 25-20).
Next up was the Vidor Pirates. Such great competition as the scores reflect their efforts in the loss (28-26, 23-25, 15-9) Leading in serves was Emmie McFatter and Rylie Peevey, each contributing with 5 Aces. The backcourt was also led by Peevey. Offensive threats came from Rebekah Burt, Kamryn Breaux and Lily Traxler. Lots of learning and improvement shown by our Bobcats.
