Bulldogs Handed Loss On The Road In Kirksville
With just one practice under their belts after returning from a two-week quarantine, the Trenton High School volleyball team returned to the court, playing their third match of the season. The end result was the same as the two matches Trenton played before a positive COVID test on the roster – a loss.
Trenton returned to action on Thursday, traveling to Kirksville, where it fell to the host Tigers 25-14, 25-14, 25-12.
“I am proud of the girls because I think the score fails to indicate how well they played, especially with only one practice back from quarantine,” Trenton coach Pam Bowden said. “I look forward to next week and the opportunity to get a win, hopefully more than one even.”
Trenton was able to put points on the board in all three sets, but Kirksville took early leads in all three and took the intrigue out of the match fairly early.
Evy McCullough led the Bulldogs with five kills and three blocks in the loss while Lilly Berti had one kill and three digs. Kenzie Yuille had five digs, Olivia Roberts had four digs and Jessa Shipley added three digs.
Trenton fell to 0-3 on the season with the defeat.
Trenton dropped the junior varsity match 25-13, 25-10 and the Bulldogs’ C team lost as well, 25-7, 25-8. Sarah Washburn had two kills, two aces, an assist and a dig in the JV loss.
The volleyball program will make up for lost time this week. The Bulldogs hosted Plattsburg on Monday and will be at home today (Tuesday), hosting Hamilton at 5 o’clock. Trenton is at home on Wednesday as well, taking on Wellington-Napoleon. That match is also scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.
