MATCH
From page 6A
by a trio of questionable
calls by the officials. After
the final of the disputed
calls, he added, the team
was “fired up” and came
out “hitting and put down
the Lady Warriors once and
for all.”
HoCi 2 (games!, Osborne 0
The third match of the
day versus Osborne was
probably the most lopsided
and difficult - a little too
easy - for the Lady Bears.
So, Jones said, they
focused on fundamentals,
proper serve techniques,
spot serving or picking a
target and hitting it and
on defense - making each
hit better. The end was
Houston County winning
25-6 and 25-8.
“This was a very difficult
match to focus even for me,”
said Jones. “That being said,
we ended up taking care
of fundamentals and played
well.”

The fourth match was
against South Cobb High

started, trouble struck the

Doebereiner, pulled up hurt
during practice.
“She has been nursing a
sore achilles tendon,” Jones
said, “and the stress of the
day hit her. The trainer
worked on her (and) we set
her out and worked a differ
ent rotation.”
Leah Justin took her place
in the rotation and played
well, Jone said. He added,
however, the Lady Bears
showed “little signs of the
long day” even though they
won that contest 25-10.
He said the Lady Bears
were “cruising” to another
match win - leading 11-6
in the second game - when
it was discovered they had
served out of rotation. The
score was corrected to 8-7
but that mattered little as
Houston County still won
25-19 in the end.
Chattahoochee 2 (games),
HeCel
The final match was the
most difficult of the day,
said Jones. Both teams
entered that undefeated
on the day and the season.
Chattahoochee, however,
had a bit of an advantage,
Jones said, considering they
had won earlier and had
had about five hours off to
rest. The Lady Bears, on
the other hand, were work
ing on their third straight
match.
THE HOUSTON DAILY JOURNAL
Still, Jones said he felt
conditioning would pay off.
They even had the inspi
ration of Doebereiner, who
Jones said laced up her shoes
and “insisted” on playing.
At first none of the afore
mentioned appeared to mat
ter. The Lady Cougars won
the first match 25-16. The
Lady Bears rallied in the
second, however - commit
ting no service errors, Jones
said - and won 25-17.
Fatigue finally set in in
the third game, however.
That, coupled with a couple
of “mental” mistakes turned
into a 25-11 Chattahoochee
win.
Leading the Lady Bears,
among others, was Morgan
Hollars, who had a total of
73 assists throughout all five
matches. Also, Catherine
Goodman had six blocks
and 13 kills. Doebereiner
had three blocks and 13
kills. Leah Justin and Nicole
Williams each added three
kills and one block. Devon
Preston added five kills and
three assists.
The attack was also start
ed by several key digs, Jones
said by defensive special
ists Dhwani Patel, who had
seven assists and 16 digs,
Sam Moncada, who had 24
digs and five assists and
Brittany Pierce, who had 12
digs and nine assists.
