The River Queens hosted MAC foe Davenport Central Tuesday in Yourd Gym. The Sophomores got off to a fast start and never looked back as they swept the Blue Devils 25-13, 25-14, 25-15. The Queens are now 11-7 overall. The JV started slow, dropping set 1, but rebounded to win sets 2 and 3. The girls played some great defense and outstanding net play as the Queens prevailed. The Varsity played a tight set 1 with Central, ultimately taking the first set 26-24. The Queens never looked back as they cruised in sets 2 and 3, sweeping the Blue Devils 25-13 and 25-9. The Queens were led offensively by Maloree Byrns who had a match high 8 kills on 16 attempts, with 0 attacking errors to hit a boisterous .500. Haylee House led the Queens with 13 assists, followed by Alaina Carpenter's 10 assists and 6 aces from the service line. The Queens ended with 17 total aces and took the Blue Devils out of the system the entire match. The back row defense was led by Tenley Cewe, who dug up 7 attacks. Kylie Schroeder had 4 assist blocks to lead the Queens. Haley Thomas passed an impressive 2.66 (out of 3.0) in serve receive, and Maddie Rowden passed a 2.0, respectively. The Queens return to action at the Center Point Urbana tournament on Saturday, where they will face two state ranked opponents in pool play. First serve is slated for 9:30am! The Queens return home for their last match in Yourd Gym this season, as they take on Muscatine next Tuesday as we honor our 8 seniors, for Senior Night and Dig Pink!
The River Kings ended their season by competing in a two-person best shot against Davenport West again this year. The Kings helped keep the traveling trophy in Clinton (after the girls had won it back last Spring) by beating the Falcons 5-1. The coaches were ready to battle it out in the tie-breaker but it didn’t come to that! Great weather and a great way to end our successful season and have an extra chance to say “Thanks” to our seniors Scott Pasakarnis, Cohen Thorpe, Ray Brown, Dante Kelly, and Levi Fransen! Go Kings!
