Despite the nature of the scores, Trenton head coach Brad Ewald was pleased with how his team competed against a very strong opponent.
“Even though the score seems lop-sided, this was one of our best performances,” Ewald said. “Those points were well earned and the girls played with a lot of energy.”
Ava Simpson led Trenton with 12 assists, one ace and one kill. Allison Yoder added five kills and six digs and Juliet Schmadeke finished with 10 digs and a kill.
The loss gave Trenton a 7-17-1 overall record on the season heading into districts.
Savannah represented the third straight 20-plus win opponent Trenton faced to close out the regular season. LeBlond, which Trenton faced last week and is the top seed in Trenton’s district, has won 22 games and St. Joseph Christian, which Trenton saw on Monday, has won 21.
Trenton’s junior varsity fell to Savannah 25-9, 25-8 and the C team lost 25-6, 25-8.
