Here’s the Link to the running 🏃♂️ Volleyball 🏐 Blog as we chased the 3 teams that fall under the Cindy Edwards Volleyball umbrella 🌂 and the three former Lady 👩 Cavaliers players that were in action 🎬 tonight.
Here is the place where we catch up with the recent efforts of the Middle School Lady 👩 Cavaliers…………
MS vs. Patrick County : 9/25/25. We played our best night of volleyball tonight. It honestly made me tear up during the first match because the girls have been working so hard for myself and Coach Kelly. We are a middle school team who can pass, set, hit pretty consistently. Yes we make errors, yes sometimes we are shooting it across the gym BUT they are doing these things and most teams we are playing aren’t doing that yet. We’ve been working a TON on serving. Laynee Burnett stood out during this match getting the most serves (8) & did NOT miss a serve! Mahala had 8 hit attempts with 3 kills. Briley also had 4 hit attempts with 1 kill. Match 2 we started out just as strong. Briley and Emma had the most serves (4). Zari had 10 hit attempts with 3 kills. Mahala had 6 attempts with 1 kill.
MS vs. Christiansburg: 9/29/25. We looked a little rocky on this Monday afternoon. We continue to find ourselves holding these girls to a higher standard because they continually impress us. Their growth this year has been AMAZING. Match 1: We didn’t serve or pass as well as we should have which made for a long match, but I am still proud of their efforts. Briley continues to shine and has worked really hard and grown a lot this season. She had the most serves this match (6). Briley and Peyton were the only two girls who didn’t miss a serve this match. Match 2: Mahala continues to lead with her volleyball knowledge and skills on the court. She got the most serves (7) in and the most aces this set. Lily shined bright match with her great passing and she got 2 hits. This is a huge improvement for her! Match 3: Blair shined bright with the most serves over (3).
MS vs. Pulaski: 9/30/25: Tonight was better volleyball! Our girls are working hard and we are proud of them. We need to learn that mistakes happen and that they are okay. We’ve gotta find our inner Taylor Swift and “shake it off”. lol. Pulaski is a tough team and we really struggled playing when we played at Pulaski, tonight wasn’t a walk in the park, but they did look much better. Kelly and I tell the girls all the time that when we are having fun we play so much better! Match 1: Out of 14 serves; we only had 3 errors. Briley, Laynee, and Emma didn’t have any serving errors. Briley had 16 ‘good’ assists which is exactly what we want from her! Mahala and Zari had 4 attempts and 1 kill. Match 2: Emma (4) and Mahala (3) led us in serving this match! This match we served 14 times and only had 2 errors! Tihana had 3 attempts and 1 kill.
MS vs. Pulaski: 9/30/25: MATCH 3… the most exciting of the night! We typically always get to play a ‘developmental set’ and it’s one of my favorite things about MS volleyball. We had the most energy during this game. I was SO proud of Blair, Kaebry, Chloe, Zari, Hadley, Alexis, and Tihanna! They played some really good volleyball. Their skills have grown so much from the beginning of the season. Blair had 8 serves. Zari had 6 serves. Kaebry and Tihanna had 2 aces! Alexis showed huge improvements tonight as Libero; she was stepping in and making plays that she typically wouldn’t have attempted. Zari continues to be a leader on and off the court. She is someone we can depend on… always! Zari came out to tryouts and I didn’t even realize she hadn’t played volleyball before. Her athleticism is amazing and we are so excited to have her! Her commitment to our team and willingness to get better every day is showing. She closed out our points tonight! They played well & played together as a team. They fought for every single point and they ended up winning that third set!
