0

The Washington Lady Blue Lion volleyball team recognized its four seniors prior to the match against the McClain Lady Tigers Tuesday.

Washington won the match, 25-16, 25-22, 25-17.

Washington honored its four seniors: Megan Mullins, Brooklyn Wilson, Maria Wilson and Jaycie McRoberts.

“The girls were focused,” Washington head coach Ashley DeAtley said. “They came out determined they were going to win. I would like to see even more intensity, but, it was a good, solid win for our seniors to end on this home match.

“We saw a lot from our seniors,” DeAtley said. “A lot of hitting, a lot of great passes. The serving was great. It was a solid overall match for us.”

DeAtley gave her thoughts on the seniors that she got to coach for one season.

“Maria Wilson, she’s our left-handed right-side hitter,” DeAtley said. “She’s a powerhouse for us.

“Brooklyn Wilson has stepped up for our defense,” DeAtley said. “She just plays anywhere we need her to, so we plug her in where we need her on defense and she does a great job.

“Jaycie McRoberts is a great leader,” DeAtley said. “She has a great presence on the court.

“Megan Mullins is our setter,” DeAtley said. “She is another great leader, especially through the hard times. She’s always trying to pump her teammates up.

“All the seniors are great leaders and they’re going to be missed next year,” DeAtley said.

“We played well,” McClain head coach Emma Gall said. “The intensity wasn’t up where we normally have it. I would like to see a little more intensity. But, we had some good plays toward the end.

“Jhalea (Coleman) got on the floor, Chayden (Pitzer) had some good hits at the net,” Gall said. “Malea Montavon had a good game, as well. Our intensity wasn’t there tonight. Washington Court House is a good program, we all know that.”
