Finish regular season 7-14

by Emily Scott
Bethany Reporter

While honoring their seniors on Senior Night, the Okaw Valley volleyball team gained a victory over the Villa Grove Blue Devils in a 25-9, 25-7 match Thursday.

The Lady Timberwolves came out strong, determined to get a win, and did just that.

OV gained a lead early in the first game and built on it, while Villa Grove’s multiple errors and passing problems aided in their downfall. With sound passing and well-executed plays at the net by junior hitter Blair Monroe and senior setter Mollee Decesaro, OV was able to slide into a 25-9 win. Read More

After sloppy start, SOV scores quickly to win 41-16

Between SOV and Clinton, the first half alone saw six turnovers and 12 flags. Fortunately for SOV, the Maroons were unable to capitalize with the exception of a safety, allowing them ample time to finally settle in. And when they did, the Redskins’ offense struck fast while the defense forced several three-and-outs, paving the way to a 41-16 win on senior night.

“It wasn’t very pretty at all in the beginning, which I believe was because we were a little tight because we wanted this game very badly for the seniors,” said head coach Charles Brown. “We were able to stay on course and keep our plan in action throughout the game. In the second quarter, especially, we were able to take advantage of the opportunities presented to us and put the points on the board. Defensively, we were fortunate that we were playing well enough so that Clinton could not take advantage of too many of our mistakes.” Read More
