Douglas stayed perfect in the Black Hills Conference with a 25-16, 25-20, 25-14 volleyball win over Douglas at Whitehead Auditorium on Tuesday night.

The Patriots (14-7 overall and 11-0 BHC) and fresh off a five-set win over St. Thomas More on Monday night, were led by Maranda Baragar’s five kills and Chelsea Edwards six service aces.

“We were a little slow out on the floor,” said Douglas head coach Jeff Nugent. “We didn’t play with a lot of energy maybe we were a little tired.”

Baragar also led the team with nine digs. Jordan McCausland dished out 21 assists.

Douglas will travel to Newell on Thursday while Custer (10-17, 3-8) hosts Belle Fourche on Friday in BHC matches.

 

HOT SPRINGS 3, HILL CITY 0: Hot Springs swept Hill City 27-25, 25-10, 25-17 in Black Hills Conference volleyball action Tuesday night.

Mackenzie Anderson was 16-of-16 serving with four aces for the Bison while teammate Carlie Weiss finished with five aces on 15-of-17 serving and had six kills.

“My girls always come out slow and Hill City was covering the floor in the first game,” said Hot Springs head coach Stacie Collins. “I think we had really good serving in the other two games and that made a difference for us.”

Mariah Asheim had five aces, 10 digs and seven assists to lead the Rangers.

Hot Springs (15-5 overall, 8-1 BHC) hosts Lead-Deadwood and Hill City (4-15, 0-9) travels to St. Thomas More on Thursday.

“We tried some new things offensively,” said Cobbler head coach Shelly Wolfe.

“We went with some shorter sets and tried some fakes to keep everybody involved. We’ve been having too many players standing around and we wanted to keep everybody moving on the court.”

Kenzie Slater had three solo blocks as Central set the tone at the net against the Scoopers.

“Our blocking was huge,” said Wolfe. “Everybody did their jobs. it was one of the first times all year that’s happened.”    

Andrea Johnson had nine kills with Caitlin Templeton adding seven kills and three aces for the Cobblers.

Courtney Carmichael had 18 set assists with Carrie Zastrow adding 13 for the winners.
